Dual axis function

Dual axis function

I am trying to chart a function with respect to sound on one axis and surface area on the other. When I plug in values for the variables, I get a value. However, i can not get the chart to correlate. Scaling issue?

You have posted a graph, a very bad graph and you mentioned you had difficulty interpreting a SQRT in the plotting formula: attach the formula.

Formula attached. This is zoomed and cleaned up to the best of my ability.
jmG, how did you digitize the other graph?

If you Google "In a recent study, Takagi et al. demonstrated that the ASJ model was a simple and useful numerical scheme applicable to the prediction of road traffic noise", this is the top hit:

I assume it's the paper your snippet is taken from. Perhaps for $25 you should just buy the article. Unless you are being paid slave wages $25 is much less than the cost of the time you will waste guessing and cleaning up images.

Zoom is an irreversible destructive process. So, the verdict is clear: EQ.9 is not the formula that plots the graphs you had attached previously. There are more missing link(s). You have mentioned Tracer 1.71, this version does not download. Mine is 1.51. I digitized using the Mathsoft digitizer then ksmooth the collected X, Y data set. Eventually the project will give birth.

PS: Add/remove log(1+x)in the plot

Correct. The equation was zoomed. The graph was not zoomed and has NOTHING to do with the formula. I am trying to correlate the two.

Per Alvaro suggestion, I started looking into digitalization. I have never done. I tracked down version 1.71 from the author. Will e-mail it to you with author's blessing

Will look at your sheet over for inspiration on digitalization 🙂

I will appreciate very much, thanks in advance.
Reading some previous feature about 1.71 vs mine 1.51, I noticed mostly some extra types of files. But to me it's about immaterial because I do it manually from any type of file that show on the screen, then capture the screen shot and plug in tracer as *.bmp. neater is the trace, easier is the job, but in fact not too important like the digitized plot model last posted. The Mathcad built-in ksmooth does the cleanup as well as smoothing. If I can't get a function out of that, then good enough for splining via the points or vis a polyline around the points.

I can't see why it does not download.
It downloads only the link !
The latest version in my download is:

+++ Tracer 1.7 (September 2003) +++
A tool for extracting data from graphs plotted in image files (bmp, jpg, gif,tif).
Tracer should run under any win32 system (Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT).

So, it won't run under XP, are you at Win XP with your Tracer 1.71 ?

ElSid,

Please read carefully the attached.

You have a graph from source and the source does not exist anymore. Then you have nothing traceable. Was it zapped from public access ? You can't access "article from Acoustic Society of America (~2004)" because you have to be member !!!

==> You are just saying that you have something and don't have something.
==> How can readers confirm you are doing right/wrong ?
==> Why don't you show that equation that plots the black graph ?
==> What is a "mirror graph similar to this" ?
==> Similar to which graph.

If you would take care of answering each and all questions from all collabs, answer in term of construct in the work sheet, and if you would show the "paper equation", the project would have been resumed in few visits.



The question is simple:
Show the "paper equation" that plots the black graph and Mathcad will do and do more, no sweat !
