SPAIN. My client wants to call this something and I want to find out if anyone here makes the same suggestion.
"La relación Scm/Dn obtenida para Quercus suber L., en el cuartel A de los Montes de Jerez, mediante regresión con mejor ajuste responde a una potencial frente al resultado esperado de exponencial."

Selected
power (relationship/function)
It should be written as "power relationship" or "power function". Putting "power" by itself will not work in English in this case. The same is true for "exponential" later in the sentence.
The mathematical formulas in these references listed below are not as they appear in the websites. In the equations below, the "b"s in all of the Y=aXb formulas should be a superscript. Please go to the websites to see the correctly written formulas.
There are many functional forms for nonlinear regression. The two discussed in this course are power regression and exponential regression.
* Exponential regression: Y = abX
* Power regression: Y = aXb

Regresión potencial
Si la relación entre dos variables X e Y, es de la forma:
Y=AXB
Tenemos una relación potencial, es decir y es proporcional a la potencia B de x.
http://www.fiumsa.edu.bo/isocial/experimentosAV/V Regresion ...
Power functions are of the form y = axb.
http://mathbits.com/MathBits/TISection/Statistics2/Rules.htm
Assume the relationship is a power function (y=axb)

Comment: "The client wants to call it "power function" so this answer must be it this time. To me it sounds like Power Rangers, since I am completely innumerate ("soy de letras") and know nothing about stats and math. Thanks for the help everybody !"

a possibility
In this context.
Note from asker:
| No, that's not what it means. I had translated it as "potential" but the client wants to call it something else, and since I am virtually enumerate, I don't know if the term he suggests is correct or not. |
| Sorry, I meant "innumerate" - lacking knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts and methods. |

potential
I think the text refers to the results of two different mathematic functions: potential and exponential

Since it's a noun, it is probably serving as either "potential energy" or "potential force"

Reference:
regression analysis
The author is discussing the results of his regression analysis and the type of mathematical relationship that was discovered in his study. He or she expected the relationship to be exponential, but instead it was "potencial". Sorry, but I do not know the word for this in English...
En primer lugar, la relación entre las cotizaciones y el tiempo debe ser lineal. Si bien la técnica estadística de regresión lineal es aplicable a algunos casos concretos de relaciones no lineales, como es el caso de las funciones ****potencial***, exponencial, potencial-exponencial, hiperbólica, exponencial-hiperbólica o parabólica, fácilmente transformables en lineales mediante cambios de variable o transformaciones logarítmicas, el indicador Regression Line Value Index sólo se puede calcular sobre variables relacionadas linealmente.

potential vs. expected exponential [growth]
This is in support of the answer proposed by Mercedes. While potential is functioning as a noun, I understand it to ultimately refer to 'exponential growth' and that these are terms from regression analysis. Examples:
