โœฆ Synopsis

Motivated by a recent mathematical paper, we discuss statistical parameter estimation in the Arrhenius equation, that relates kinetic reaction rates to temperature. In opposition to the paper in question, we argue theoretically for the appropriateness of using ordinary least squares on log-transformed data and supply some empirical support in this direction.

The temperature dependence of a rate constant is usually described by the Arrhenius equation. It can be transformed into a linear model by the logarithmic transformation of the dependent variable. The parameter vector in the linearized model is then often estimated by the ordinary least squares esti
