stability study
Good evening everyone. My turn to ask for help!
This is a summary of a stability study on a tablet to decide whether the shelf life can be extended or not.
Stability plot heading: Humedad
There follows a plot with 'moisture' on the x axis and ''time points' on the y axis (in English already).
Underneath the graph:
Se ha tenido que *** forzar la transformación lineal ***. El intervalo de confianza de la medida indica que soportaría 121 meses.
I'm not sure what this means, and I can't find "force linear transformation" anywhere.
This is a report from Spain for a UK target.
Thank you for your help.

force a/the linear transformation
This is really a statistics question. Linear transformation is a commonly used term in statistics and thus I think it must mean this. Medium confidence however.
2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thanks Bill, this is what I used because my client wanted a literal translation. I'm not convinced though. There are no refs in Google using 'force' and I suspect Dr Neil is right. It's a pity I can't split the points in this case."

force a linear regression model
Its the same meaning but I think this is the correct way

calculate a best-fit linear transformation
I don't know the statistical concepts and techniques involved here, so this is based on searching for different combinations of these words. In a statistical context, I think "forzar" has to be translated as "fit" or "force" ... so voilà my best shot at this.
"best fit linear transformation" appears twice in the reference I've cited.
Good luck with this one!

Example sentence:
" The image and target triangles were then matched and a best fit linear transformation was calculated for each triangle pair."

extrapolate a line of best fit
I'm believe the 'transformacion lineal' is to extrapolate the data to a time further than has been performed. Has the time data on the y-axis passed 121 months? If not then I would be very confident of my answer.

Sorry my suggestion should read "extrapolate THE line of best fit"
A can't imagine a better literal translation which means the same thing. Doesn't your client want an accurate and natural translation?

Note from asker:
Thanks Neil, you are right that the 121 months has not passed. The data has been plotted to 121 months, but only 70 have actually passed. So your answer is probably right but my client wants a more literal translation :( |
Thanks again Neil. Unfortunately my client didn't want a natural translation. |

I tried to sneak up on this term by looking for other examples in Spanish, and ... ¡nada! Your question is the only instance of this in the whole online world :) (Bing included.) Strange. (That is, did a search for "forzar la transformación lineal".)
