Hi, I am new to R, and I suspect I am missing something simple.
I have a data set that performance data that correlates request rate to response times http://pastebin.com/Xhg0RaUp There is some jitter in the data, but mostly it looks like a hockey puck curve. It does not get converted into a straight line when I tried log conversions, so it does not seem to be a power series relationship. My expectation is that the data will fit a curve that is a hyperbola, but I don't know how to formulate that regression. How does one fit data to a general function AX^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 +D = 0 I have tried polynomial functions and inverse functions lm2 = lm(Time ~ Requests + I(Requests^2) + I(Requests^3)) but that does not appear to be close. Any pointers appreciated. manoj dat <- read.csv("perf.csv",header=TRUE) plot (Time ~ Requests) plot (Time ~ Requests, log="y") plot (Time ~ Requests, log="x") plot (Time ~ Requests, log="xy") -- To be intoxicated is to feel sophisticated, but not be able to say it.
