Since it's a noun... Explanation: Since it's a noun, it is probably serving as either "potential energy" or "potential force" See the physics definition in the link provided. HTH R. == Reference: http://www.answers.com/topic/potential |

power (relationship/function) Explanation: It should be written as "power relationship" or "power function". Putting "power" by itself will not work in English in this case. The same is true for "exponential" later in the sentence. The mathematical formulas in these references listed below are not as they appear in the websites. In the equations below, the "b"s in all of the Y=aXb formulas should be a superscript. Please go to the websites to see the correctly written formulas. There are many functional forms for nonlinear regression. The two discussed in this course are power regression and exponential regression. * Exponential regression: Y = abX * Power regression: Y = aXb http://www.arnoldkling.com/apstats/audio/regNonlin.html Regresión potencial Si la relación entre dos variables X e Y, es de la forma: Y=AXB Tenemos una relación potencial, es decir y es proporcional a la potencia B de x. http://www.fiumsa.edu.bo/isocial/experimentosAV/V Regresion ... Power functions are of the form y = axb. http://mathbits.com/MathBits/TISection/Statistics2/Rules.htm Assume the relationship is a power function (y=axb) http://www.ctre.iastate.edu/educweb/ce352/lab07/lab.htm |

| Reference: regression analysis Reference information: The author is discussing the results of his regression analysis and the type of mathematical relationship that was discovered in his study. He or she expected the relationship to be exponential, but instead it was "potencial". Sorry, but I do not know the word for this in English... En primer lugar, la relación entre las cotizaciones y el tiempo debe ser lineal. Si bien la técnica estadística de regresión lineal es aplicable a algunos casos concretos de relaciones no lineales, como es el caso de las funciones ****potencial***, exponencial, potencial-exponencial, hiperbólica, exponencial-hiperbólica o parabólica, fácilmente transformables en lineales mediante cambios de variable o transformaciones logarítmicas, el indicador Regression Line Value Index sólo se puede calcular sobre variables relacionadas linealmente. |

| Reference: potential vs. expected exponential [growth] Reference information: This is in support of the answer proposed by Mercedes. While potential is functioning as a noun, I understand it to ultimately refer to 'exponential growth' and that these are terms from regression analysis. Examples: .. as he may have expected exponential growth), and such claims requires .... I used linear regression analysis to compare the different models. ... www.tbiomed.com/content/3/1/10 - Cached - Similar Half-life measurements at the PTB - Elsevier by KF Walz - 1983 - Cited by 39 - Related articles ... all data measured for a radionuclide was evaluated by a regression analysis. .... result in deviations of the decay curve from the expected exponential. ... linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/0020708X83901874 terms of their potential exponential growth characteristics but in terms of their ...... from the expected exponential growth rate do not cancel. ... wwwdocs.fce.unsw.edu.au/banking/seminar/2002/Dempspaper.pdf |
