Question

the relationship between an output response and an input factor could be linear or non linear. which of these functions offer better scope to attenuate sensitivity to noise.
1. linear
2.non- linear
3.both

Answer 1

We begin by defining the terms linear and non linear relationship.

Linear relationship is where a change on the independent variable produces a corresponding change on the dependent variable.

A non linear relationship is where a change in the independent variable does not necessarily produce a change in the dependent variable.

Sensitivity to noise does not depend on the noise since people have different levels of noise toleration.

Therefore the best scope is a non linear relationship.
