So he is working on the data again, and he is going to call me to let me know if he has made any progress. So I should be able to post his stuff in a few hours. I think I may have found the way to derive the quadratic regression equation. But even if I haven't, it's probably more important that our model be correct than that we explain it, because the rest of the lab is based on it. I will try to provide some theoretical justification for this, but we need to get this done by Monday.
Equations are near the bottom.
Here are parts 1 and 2 of the word document. Any problems email me . Also email if you finish your part and need me to put it up.
