A power law plotted on a logarithmic scale will be a straight line. log(x^2.2) == 2.2*log(x).

- cscheid 10y agoYou need log transformations on both axes for this to work.
- Coding_Cat 10y agoFor those whose algebra is rusty: Let y = ax^n Then log(y) = log(ax^n) = log(a)+log(x^n) = log(a) + log(x)*n i.e. and equation for a line when plotting log(y) vs. log(x).
- mark-r 10y agoYeah OK, after a little reflection I see where my mistake was. I wish there was a way to delete my comment.
