The name of something close to a derivative












1












$begingroup$


I have a sample set of data similar to the the one depicted in following picture
frequency response



I have taken the rate of change for each point in the data set as show below.



(1) $quad (f_2-f_1)/(t_2-t_1) = df/dt$



What I am actually after is the rate of change of each point relative to the first point $(t_0=0).$



(2) $quad (f_2-f_0)/(t_2-t_0)$



My problem is that when I plot the second dataset (2) I dont know what to call it . The first equation (1) is a derivative of the dataset but I dont know what the second one (2) should be called.

    @viciouskinid The derivative is the limit of this rate, not the rate itself. In both (1) and (2) you would obtain the same limit (if it exists).
