Linear Regression
The linear regression option finds the equation of a linear equation of
the form y = a + bx that best fits a set of data.First, press
selecting option AEDIT to
enter or change the data .
The data shown here is the points {(2,11.4) (3,17) (5,27.3) (7,36.1) (11,47.7) (13,49.9)}
Press
DREG to view the regression options.
For linear regression, select option 02Rg_ax+b
using 
or 03Reg_a+bx using
Press 
and select one of the linear regression options in the calculation screen.
Now press
followed by
.
Therefore, the best-fit linear equation for this data is
approximately
y = 7.42 + 3.53x
The regression equation can be automatically stored in the equation editor
by entering the name of the equation, such as y1, after (L1,L2 as follows:
choose option A
and select y1 followed by
.
Note:The resulting linear equation is an exact fit if two data points with different x values
are entered.
The Sharp does not calculate the correlation coefficient r and the coefficient of determination, r2.
