where,

  • Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Y} is a set of Y values,
  • Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle X} is an optional set of X values,
  •   is a logical value TRUE or FALSE, that decides whether to force the constant 'b' to 0,
  • Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle stats} is a logical value TRUE or FALSE, that decides whether to return additional regression statistics.

LINEST() is an array function that calculates the statistics for a line by using the 'least squares' method to calculate a straight line that closely fits the input data.

Description

  • If 'Y' is the point on y-axis, 'X' is the point on x-axis, 'm' is a constant indicating slope of the line and 'b' is the constant value at which the line crosses y-axis (Y intercept),

then equation of line is - 

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Y=mX + b}
  • For multiple ranges of X-values,
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Y = m1X1 + m2X2 +......+ b}
  • Argument values Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle X} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Y} should be numeric, else Calci displays NaN error message.
  • The length of array of X values should be equal to length of array of Y values, else Calci displays #NULL error message.
  • Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle C} is a logical value that decides whether to make constant 'b' equal to 0.
  • If Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle C} = TRUE or omitted, 'b' is calculated normally. If Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle C} = FALSE, 'b' is made equal to 0.
  • Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle stats} is a logical value that decides whether to display additional regression statistics.
  • If Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle stats} = TRUE, calci returns additional regresstion statistics. If   = FALSE or omitted, Calci returns the values of 'm'(slope) and the constant 'b'.
  • When there is only one independent X variable, Slope(m) and Y intercept (b) can be calculated using following formulas -

  • The additional regression is displayed in the following format where each statistic value is described as below-
