Jan 20, 2016 at 19:15 comment added PsyPhi I don't think that's a strict requirement of linearity. Linear entails, roughly, that you get an output from an input that follows a linear trajectory. Put in 1, get 2, put in 2, get 4 (following an exponential equation for example). So it depends on assumptions about data. One way would be to explore the data for linearity but that is outside the scope of the question...
