On 2005 exam 2, there's been a question where you were required to actually describe how a data transformation linearised the data. Could someone check whether my expression in regards to how data can be linearised is accurate.
Thanks
x2 transformation: stretches large x values closer towards the horizontal axis relative to smaller x values.
log(x) transformation: compresses large x values closer towards the vertical axis, relative to smaller x values.
1/x transformation: x values are reversed and compressed towards the x axis.
y2 transformation: stretches larger y values closer towards the vertical axis.
log(y) transformation: the points closer towards the vertical axis need to be compressed more towards the horizontal line to linearise the data.
1/y transformation: the points are reversed, and y values closer to the y-axis are compressed towards the vertical axis, to linearise the data.
Could someone please check these ^^ for accuracy in expression! Thanks
