A least-squares analysis fit is performed on the (t

I
is the independent variable
and Nads
I
is the dependent variable. Only the values of t
I
between t
MIN
and t
MAX
, the minimum and
maximum thickness, are used. The following are calculated:
a.) Slope (S cm

b.) Y-intercept (Y

c.) Error of the slope (S
