4.1.5. Other Insights from the Research

In addition to the above insights, several other interesting findings are obtained from the data analysis in this study.

For example, the *p*(M) values in Table 6g,h are identical, as are the *R*<sup>2</sup> values in Table 7g,h; interestingly, the associated P-Co-Co values in Table 3g,h are also identical. By further inspecting Table 5 and A1, these can be explained by the fact that the SLR models will be identical if the transformation method is *X* = log(*X*) or *X* = lg(*X*). That means that the base (here, 10 or 2) does not change if a logarithm is used for the RHS variable transform. Therefore, it is recommended for future studies that, for each pair of variables, keeping either SLR model is sufficient.
