Hi Sankara,
You can transform the data as follows. For each x, define z = x^n. Then,
if you work with the z's you
have
Y = A + B*Z which is solved via OLE (Ordinary Linear Estimation). The A and
B estimated in this
fashion are also the A and B required in the original problem.
Hope that helps.

=======================================================================
I have a set of values for Y and X. Y is the response variable and X is the
independent variable.
The trend is as follows:
Y = A + B*X^n
I want to get the values of A,B and n. Can you help me in obtaining the
regression solution ?
