Learning curve note

Learning curve note

Refer to the video of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie44dYbmTQE&t=127s  to study the material below

Diagram 1


Diagram 2:



Y = aX b
Y = average cumulative time per unit
X = Total no. of unit
a = Time on 1st unit
b = learning factor [log [learning rate]/ log 2]

log 0.8 = -0.0969
log 2 = 0.3010

In excel
=LOG(2)
0.3010
-0.0969/0.3010 = -0.322
Log 0.8/ Log 2 = -0.322

=300 x 8^-0.322 = 153.77
