There is a graph that shows a dependence between distance and PRR,
LQI, and RSSI in the paper about Telos design (figure 5 in
http://www.polastre.com/papers/spots05-telos.pdf)
While it does not actually show the regression, and distance is made
explicit, it should at least give you a flavor of what to expect out
of each type of measurement

Yes, there is *some* relation: they're positively correlated.  But on
the CC2420 radio, LQI shows significant variance for a given packet
reception rate (PRR).  You may be much better off using RSSI, which
shows far less variance for a given PRR.

You can use (logistic) regression to determine the relationship the variables:
- send a lot of packets between a lot of motes
- compute the PRR as the fraction of packets received over the number
sent for each tx, rx link pair
- note the RSSI and LQI values
- Plot (and regress) PRR vs RSSI and PRR vs LQI

Hope that helps.
