Ok, this is for just a project for my own, (not school or work) so I don't really need to be THAT rigorous. Anyways, I have rates of growth data from a bunch of different dates, but because of my own laziness, each data point doesn't cover a uniform period of time. Most of them cover a week exactly, but because of being busy with school, I have a data point that covers 23 days from the last measurement and I was wondering what the easiest way is to estimate that into a weekly growth rate.
Is it just as simple as taking the nth root, where n=the days since the last measurement, to get the average daily growth rate, and then taking it to the 7th power to get a weekly rate?
