Model Form #1
log10(SSR) =
- 0.0656 + 0.947 log10(TURB)
+ 0.128 log10(Q)
where:
- SSR is computed suspended sediment, in milligrams per liter
- TURB is turbidity, YSI model 6136, in formazin nephelometric units
- Q is computed discharge, stage-discharge rating curve, in cubic feet per second

Explanatory Variables
| Variable | Value | Standard error |
|---|---|---|
| Intercept | -0.0656 | 0.101 | log10(TURB) | 0.947 | 0.0296 | log10(Q) | 0.128 | 0.0295 |
Correlation Matrix
A correlation matrix is not available for this model. Therefore, the prediction interval was calculated by assuming that there is no correlation between the explanatory variables.
