Defining a regression model (2VAR)
The Symbolic view includes an expression (Fitl through Fit5)
that defines the regression model, or “fit”, to use for the
regression analysis of each two-variable data set.
There are three ways to select a regression model:
• Accept the default option to fit the data to a straight line.
• Select one of the available fit options in Symbolic Setup
view.
• Enter your own mathematical expression in Symbolic
view. This expression will be plotted, but it will not he
fitted to the data points.
To choose the
fit
In Numeric view, make sure bttfiliO is set.
Press I SHIFT\SETUP-SYMB to display the Symbolic Setup
view. Highlight the Fit number (SIFIT to S5FIT) you
want to define.
3. Press WiKKRI and select from the following list. Press I
when done. The regression fomiula for the fit is
displayed in Symbolic view.
