I've been trying to see if I can fairly-accurately match the number of visitors I had with some type of mathematical expression. As I pointed out in the article, the decay looks exponential.
I've gotten closer with f(x) = 2658e^(-0.94)+30, but as x approaches infinity (or even 5) it starts to full apart. Any one good with the maths who wants to take a look?
I decided with this one to throw out the first datapoint (the day my site launched) since it was likely still growing during this period of (overall) decay. How significant is this?
The actual numbers: [2688, 1065, 452, 206, 138, 105]
My function's numbers: [2688, 1068, 436, 188, 91, 54]
