Analyzing Two-Variable Statistics
You can choose from among these four regression-analysis methods:
LIN
Ln
EXP
PWR
Computing Values Automatically
Except for the predicted
X' and Y' values, the calculator computes and displays
values for statistics variables automatically when you access them.
Using X' and Y' for Regression Predictions
To use the
X' and Y' variables for regression predictions, you either can enter a
value for X' to compute Y' or enter a value for Y' to compute X'.
Regression Models
For two-variable data, the Statistics worksheet uses four regression models for
curve fitting and forecasting.
Model Formula Restrictions
LIN
Y = a + b X None
Ln
Y = a + b ln(X) All X values > zero
EXP
Y = a bx All Y values > zero
PWR
Y = a Xb All X and Y values > zero
The calculator interprets the X value as the independent variable and the Y
value as the dependent variable.
The calculator computes the statistical results using these transformed values:
LIN uses X and Y.
Ln uses ln(X) and Y.
EXP uses X and ln(Y).
PWR uses ln(X) and ln(Y).
The calculator determines the values for
a and b that create the line or curve
that best fits the data.
