Mathcad - Curve Fitting - Regression

This Mathcad document demonstrates different curve fitting regression techniques to fit data including: - Line fitting which results in an equation of y=0.359x + 0.585 with a correlation of 0.967 - Logarithmic fitting with an equation of y=0.343ln(x) + 1.06 having a correlation of 0.914 - Power law fitting producing the equation y=1.718x^0.265 - 0.679 with a correlation of 0.976 - A general function fitting returns the equation y=1.053x - 0.044 and a correlation of 0.967, demonstrating how to define a custom fitting function.
