Defining a regression model (2VAR)
The Symbolic view includes an expression (Fit1 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 be
fitted to the data points.
