Linear Regression Models with Logarithmic Transformations
نویسنده
چکیده
Remember that we are using natural logarithms, where the base is e ≈ 2.71828. Logarithms may have other bases, for instance the decimal logarithm of base 10. (The base 10 logarithm is used in the definition of the Richter scale, for instance, measuring the intensity of earthquakes as Richter = log(intensity). This is why an earthquake of magnitude 9 is 100 times more powerful than an earthquake of magnitude 7: because 109/107 = 102 and log10(10 2) = 2.)

Estimating Height and Diameter Growth of Some Street Trees in Urban Green Spaces
Estimating urban trees growth, especially tree height is very important in urban landscape management. The aim of the study was to predict of tree height base on tree diameter. To achieve this goal, 921 trees from five species were measured in five areas of Mashhad city in 2014. The evaluated trees were ash tree (Fraxinus species), plane tree (Platanus hybrida), white mulberry (Morus alba), ail...
متن کاملEstimation of stem biomass of Pupulus. caspica and Pupulus. alba 57.58 seedlings based on allometric relations (Case study: Chamestan, Noor)
Today, the use of allometric relations for easy, non-destructive, low cost and fast estimation of tree biomass is widely used. The aim of this study was to estimate the stem biomass of Pupulus. caspica and Pupulus. alba 57.58 seedlings. First, 45 cuttings from both fast-growing tree species were selected and planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the lands of C...
متن کاملUse of Ratios and Logarithms in Statistical Regression Models
In many regression models, we use logarithmic transformations of either the regression summary measure (a log link), the regression response variable (e.g., when analyzing geometric means), or one or more of the predictors. In this manuscript, I discuss the rationale for using logarithmic transformations, the interpretation of ratios, and the general properties of logarithms. 1 Use of Logarithm...
متن کاملLiu Estimates and Influence Analysis in Regression Models with Stochastic Linear Restrictions and AR (1) Errors
In the linear regression models with AR (1) error structure when collinearity exists, stochastic linear restrictions or modifications of biased estimators (including Liu estimators) can be used to reduce the estimated variance of the regression coefficients estimates. In this paper, the combination of the biased Liu estimator and stochastic linear restrictions estimator is considered to overcom...
