Students find equations, which best-fit the data, using different regression models built into their calculators. The best method of handling this data, is to break the data into sections and fit different periods of time with different equations. Using their models, they predict when the patient will be released from the hospital, and when the blood counts will rise to certain important levels. This is actual data, used with permission, of white blood counts following a stem cell transplant.
