This activity is walks you through the steps to perform sine regression for a randomly generated data set using the TI-84.
Step 1: Get some data.
- Go to the Randomized Wave Data Generator and use the form to get some randomly-generated data (check the boxes for more interesting data).
- Your data should be different from every other data set on earth, so copy and paste it to a (spreadsheet or word-processor) file for your later use.
Step 2: Enter the Data into your Calculator.
- Press Y= and clear the Y1 function.
- Press STATPLOT (2nd followed by Y=) and choose Plot1.
- Under Plot1, select On (press ENTER), after Type select the drawing of disconnected dots, and make sure you have Xlist: L1(2nd followed by 1) and Ylist: L2 (2nd followed by 2).
- Press STAT. With EDIT highlighted, select 1:Edit…
- In the table that appears, under L1 type the x values and under L2 type the values of y. Make sure your L1 and L2 lists have the same length. (key in the data obtained from the Randomised Wave Generator)
- Press ZOOM and choose option 9:ZoomStat to look at a scatter plot of your data.
Step 3: Find the Sine Wave of Best Fit for the Data.
- Press STAT. Press the right arrow key to highlight CALC. Then scroll down to select C:SinReg and pressENTER ONCE.
- In the SinReg screen, choose Iterations:3 Xlist:L1, Ylist:L2 and Store RegEq: Y1 (press VARS, then select Y-VARS , then select FUNCTION, and then select Y1). Then highlight Calculate and press ENTER ONCE.
- The calculator should now display the values for
a ,b ,c , andd in the functionf(x)=asin(bx+c)+d that best fits the given data set. - Press GRAPH to see the sine regression function plotted along with your scatter plot and press Y1 to see the equation of your wave.
Task: in sub groups of 3s
- Using the Randomized Wave Data Generator generate a (1) Set of Data.
- Identify the best fit function
f(x)=asin(bx+c)+d that best fits the given data set - Explain the Transformation of your function using
f(x)=sin(x) as a bench mark points. Your explanation should be as follows
- Increase in amplitude by a
- period change by ....
- vertical shift by ....
