SYNTAX

LINEFIT

DESCRIPTION

A least squares curve fit to a straight line is calculated. The slope, y intercept, standard deviation of the slope, standard deviation of the y intercept, standard deviation of the data and correlation coefficient between the data and the linear fit are written to blackboard variables SLOPE, YINT, SDSLOPE, SDYINT, SDDATA and CORRCOEF respectively. The data does not have to be evenly spaced.
