Hello,

I am having some difficulty modeling data with two independent variables and a dependent variable.


The data is included below:

I am looking for the best way to model this data. The data points are non-linear.

Thanks!

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Can you describe the data? What's the independent variable?

Sure!

Basically, the first column is a column of years a particular car make and model was built. The second column is a series of mileage intervals per year. The last column is the dependent variable, which is the price of that make and model based on the data in the first two columns.

My goal is to predict the value of this car based on year and mileage.

Thanks!
