In power-law equation i=av^b; generally b-value lies 0.5 to 1. But what will be the conclusion if we get the slope or b-value less than 0.5 and greater than 1.
Actual name of your function ( I = aV^b) is the allometry equation . So B1 is a positive allometry.
Loads of literature on allometry online for you to get appropriate information for the application this function for your data (you do not say what data you are analysing). good luck...
Mewa Singh Dhanoa, thank you for your response. But, your answer is related to biology I guess. My question is about electrochemical system, in which we can differentiate between an electrochemical system's capacitive and diffusive contribution.
In that case other functions may be more useful. For example sum or difference of Exponential functions may give more meaningful interpretations. To see that, plot your data on log-scale and see if the log-scale trend is two-phasic. you can adopt functions from other areas of application to analyse your data differently (power function is essentially an empirical descript unless interpreted as an allometric function. have a look at the attached to see how I used various function options to analyse various types of trends...
