Hi Jeff,
www.curvefit.com goes into a bit of detail if you're interested in the math
- or maybe try a google search on linear regression and non-linear
regression.
Otherwise, I have a bit of mathematical ability and if you provide me with
your data I could construct an equation for a curve. You might need a
pocket calculator to evaluate the equation though.
If you're interested in the math start by learning linear regression - it's
fairly simple. You should use non-linear regression for your reciprocity
failure data though (since reciprocity failure is, of course, a non-linear
behaviour). Feel free to ask more questions. If you can't tell - I like
math.
