Is there a method to calculate a regression using the inverse of the relationship between independent and dependent variable?
I am trying to use regression to analyze a titration, I have the following relationship that I know should fit the data, but $V_b$ is the independent variable and $\left[H^+\right]$, which is $10^{-p\...

Logistic regression modeling of molecule conversion
A recent question addressed a regression where a chemical was treated with a mixture having a particular concentration, to see the proportion of the chemical that converted to a new substance.
The ...

Compatibility of two atom spectra
I've measured in laboratory the wavelength of the emission lines of an unknown element.
I now have these values in a set (called x) along with their relative errors.
Now I need to compare my ...
