R's lm(), get x when y is known [duplicate]

Here is some data and a logarithmic model: df <- data.frame( x = 1:8, y = c(7.5,6,5.2,4.3,3.9,3.4,3.1,2.9) ) model <- lm(y ~ log(x), data = df) I am ...

What is bias in aerosol data?

I was reading this information related to aerosol, especially aerosol optical depth of the MISR and MODIS instruments. I didn't actually get what bias means in the context of the AOT retrievals of ...

linear model, given y, calculate the confidence interval for x

I fit the model y = a + b * x. And 95% CI for estimates of a and b are (a1, a2), (b1, b2), respectively. If we have a new observation ...

Error propagation through a calibration curve

Say I have a linear fit given y = ax + b. I'm given Δa and Δb as 95% confidence intervals. I now have several measurements y1, y2, y3, ... etc, from which of course I can gather a mean, standard ...

Test for comparing x-intercepts of two linear regression

I would like to know how to compare, and then calculate significant differences, if any, between the x-intercepts of two regression lines. Practically, I should compare the values of x when y=0. I ...

What is the error of my regression? [closed]

I'm conducting a polynomial of a third degree upon a diode measurement where Amplification was measured against Voltage. It's a very exponential behavior. However, I used the ...

Prediction Interval when independent variable has variance

Given an existing regression curve, how do I properly account for the known variance I have in some new value of X? If I had an observation $x_{new} = 700$ with a variance $\sigma_x^2 = 150$ then how ...

Regressing $x$ on $y$ for Count Data

Suppose I have data $x$ and $y$, where $x$ is a count and $y$ is continuous. I would like to predict $x$ from $y$. Specifically, for my research question, $X$ can be viewed as being measured without ...

Estimate at which point a linear model hits a certain value (including probabilities)

I have a simple 1D set of datapoints with a trend, I want to estimate at which point $X_t$ (i.e., at which point in the future) the model will hit a certain threshold $Y_t$: I can fit a trendline to ...

How to quantify prediction power?

I have data that is the result of measurements $f(x)$ at points $x$. These measurements fluctuate (call it noise), also differently for each $x$ so we have that $\sigma(x)$ are the fluctuations. By ...
