The video tutorial explains graphical parameter estimation, focusing on fitting lines to data and extending this to power and exponential functions using log transforms. It demonstrates how to use natural and base 10 log transforms to linearize data, allowing for easy extraction of parameters like slope and intercept. The tutorial also covers plotting data on log-log axes and interpreting these plots to determine function parameters.
