That is right, I removed the points above 39, and also got 16.60964,
which looks good to me. Splines is good and I will use it for
non-linear interpolation. For now I used linear conversion to keep it
simple but looks to me it is getting out of hand. I simply need to do
the following interpolation:
```
Y <-c(1.301030, 1.602060, 1.903090, 2.204120, 2.505150, 2.806180,
# log transformation of the original data
3.107210, 3.408240, 3.709270,
4.010300, 4.311330, 4.612360, 4.913390, 5.214420, 5.515450,
5.816480, 6.117510, 6.418540,
6.719570, 7.020599, 7.321629, 7.622658, 7.923686, 8.224713,
8.525735, 8.826751, 9.127752,
9.428723, 9.729637, 10.030434, 10.330998, 10.631096, 10.930265,
11.227580, 11.521213, 11.807577,
12.079787, 12.325217, 12.523074, 12.647915, 12.693594, 12.698904,
12.698970, 12.698970, 12.698970)
X <- 1:45
plot(Y~X)
points(16.60964, 6, pch=16)
segments(0, 6, 16.60964, 6)
arrows(16.60964, 6, 16.60964, 1)
# given Y find X
```
How shall I use predict then? The use of other packages when predict
can do it would be overkill...
Thank you
