The scaling of thermal energy confinement time plays important roles in tokamak fusion research. A simple log-linear scaling from regression analysis of a large experimental database has been widely used in terms of the engineering or dimensionless parameters. A particularly important example is the IPB98(y,2) scaling for ELMy H-mode plasmas developed for the ITER project [1].
