SUMMARY
Jordan from Facebook discusses the application of a specific regression model defined as y = A + B·e^x. He emphasizes the transformation of the variable by setting X = e^x, which simplifies the equation to a linear form y = A + B·X. The key conclusion is that by evaluating e^x at each point x, one can create a new dataset X, enabling the use of linear least squares regression to analyze the relationship between y and X effectively.
