The mean relative growth Rt(P) for the first 8 years (1999 - 2006) indicates a growth rate of 2.53 years, whereas for the next 8 years (2007 - 2014) it was increased  4.48 yearsThe R2 value for the linear trend (0.9187) is more than that of exponential trend (0.9262), which indicates that the exponential trend is more suitably fit to as compared to linear trend.
