Incorrect Exponential Trendline Equation
Last modified: 2007-03-31 06:24:06 UTC
Please describe the problem: Gnumeric does not compute correct exponential trendline equations. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a graph: {x|1,2,3},{y|e^1,e^2,e^3} 2. Plot 3. Create Trend Line 4. Create exponential trend line Actual results: Trendline appears on the graph, fits the points, but the equation is given as: ln(y)=2.71828x+1 Expected results: ln(y)=x Does this happen every time? Same result for {x|2,4,6}; at least it's consistent. Other information: I plan to file a somewhat different bug involving decaying exponentials.
Woops, step 4 should be "create exponential equation" from the trendline.
I get ln(y)=1x+0 This bus has already been fixed in HEAD. If you really want to use a development version, you should manage to always use the latest available one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 408520 ***
