How do I check Caine’s rainfall threshold equation with data set used by them? for equation &dataset:

the title of the paper is: THE RAINFALL INTENSITY - DURATION CONTROL OF SHALLOW LANDSLIDES AND DEBRIS FLOWS by NEL CAINE |

Hi,
Do you mean you did fitting in Origin with R Console or you just did fitting in R directly?
Anyway, no matter which software you are using, you should try to find the reasons why you are not getting a good fit as follows:

thank you for your response and time. Actually, I read a paper "THE RAINFALL INTENSITY - DURATION CONTROL OF SHALLOW LANDSLIDES AND DEBRIS FLOWS" by NEL CAINE. In this paper, they are fitting an equation (power law fitting) using the data set given. I tried to fit the dataset in R using least square regression. But I got a relation different from the original one. The Caine Equation is:
I =14.82D^(-0.39)
Where I is the rainfall intensity in mm/hour
D is the duration in hours.
The data set is
Duration(hr) Mean intensity (mm/hr)
0.02 138
0.02 60
0.17 30
0.17 30

I don't know whether they avoided any data points from this to get the above equation. The power law equation which I got from this data set is I = 40.667D^(-0.493). I need to get the exact Caine equation from the above dataset. How can I obtain the Caine equation from it? We can do some assumptions and apply the constraints needed. Can you help me?

Hi,
Not sure you’ve found the right place.
Is there anything I can help you with Origin? If yes, please write down more details about your question.
