Exponential statistical contrast
Hello!
I'm trying to figure out this problem: iI'm given a maximum and minimum value for 11 consecuitive values, and these values when plotted fit an exponential curve. So for example the values are:
21.361
18.136
16.029
13.672
12.793
12.394
11.143
11.090
11.015
10.873
10.270
I'm trying to set up an exponential statistical contrast here which basically means that I'm trying to assign values to each of the aforementioned data points that when plotted would decay in an exponential function at a similar rate/slope as the data plotted above (same trendline equation) AND if these weighted values are summed together they add up to zero. I know that it is importatnt to consider tau (where the exponential curve decays to ~37% its original value) for my values, but I'm getting stuck assigning weighted values.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
