Questions tagged [fractional-polynomial]
Fractional polynomials is a method of fitting regression models using a set of fractional polynomial transformations of the independent variables. The set often includes -2, -1, -0.5, log, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3. Combinations (e.g. log x and x^(3/2)) are also possible.

Approximation of fractional function that has real-power numerator
I have the function
$f(x)=\frac{(1+x)^k}{1+ax}$, where $x>0, 0<a<k<1$.
The function has only one maximum at $x_0=\frac{a-k}{a(k-1)}$, increases on the left of $x_0$ and decreases on the ...
