Linear%20Regression_Transformations
General Tips:
1. Scatterplot – Strength, Direction, Shape
2. Linear Regression: Equation and Correlation (x against y; x against log(y); log(x) against log(y))
3. Residual Plot – No patterns
4. Compare residual plots and r values.
5. Convert back into standard form.
