Obtaining functional relationships
Carlos F. González-Fernández, A. Hayas · European Journal of Physics · 1980
The authors present a method whereby functional relationships between experimental variables may be obtained using dimensional and regression analysis. Starting from the results furnished by the pi theorem of dimensional analysis, they approach the determination of unknown functions appearing when there is more than the pi monomial, by means of statistically obtained partial functional dependence relationships. Such an approach may be of interest or utility to advanced physics laboratory students.
