Straight-line graphs of logarithmic and exponential functions Watch this video to learn about straight line graphs of logarithmic and exponential functions.

Identifying and sketching related functions Inverse of a logarithmic or exponential function The rules from graph translations are used to sketch the derived, inverse or other related functions.

A parametrization exists for which the log-likelihood function is a quadratic form in the parameter. The derived structure of these models is utilized to show that they have nice statistical ...

Other second-order expansions (Hartigan 1965; Johnson 1970; Lindley 1961, 1980; Mosteller and Wallace 1964) require computation of more derivatives of the log-likelihood function. In this article we ...

Exponential growth is a pattern of data that shows greater increases with passing time, creating the curve of an exponential function.
