I am not happy with the deviation at 1.5 and 1.6. One would have to check what the effect of these two points are on the power curve. What is the effect on the overall fit of the power curve if one omits those two points? What of a 3rd order polynomial that could in principle accommodate the inflection at 1.4? I am not averse to a mathematical solution because the linear interpolation also causes some inaccuracy.</p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">here is the same on a log scale:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><PastedGraphic-2.pdf></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><div class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I would not be happy to fit this with a line for all points including the last two.
