About this document

Polynomial Regression in Growth Analysis by whmimbs is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes using polynomial regression to model the relationship between rabbit jawbone length and age. A fourth-degree polynomial model was initially used, but the coefficient for the age^4 term was not significant. Therefore, a third-degree polynomial model was determined to better fit the data, with the model being length = β0 + β1*age + β2*age^2 + β3*age^3. R code is provided to estimate the coefficients of this third-degree polynomial regression model and plot the fitted curve, which match
