FORECAST (x,KnownYs,KnownXs)

$x$ is the data point .
$KnownYs$ is the dependent array of data.
is the independent array of data.
- FORECAST(), returns a value along a linear trend.

Description

This function gives the predicted value of the dependent variable for the specific value $x$ , of the independent variable by using a least squares linear regression to predict $y$ values from $x$ values.
In $FORECAST(x,KnownYs,KnownXs)$ , $x$ is the data point to predict a value.
$KnownYs$ is the dependent array of data to predict the $y$ -value and $KnownXs$ is the independent array of data to predict the $y$ -value.
The formula for $FORECAST$ is $a+bx$
where $a={\bar {y}}-b{\bar {x}}$ and $b={\frac {\sum (x-{\bar {x}})(y-{\bar {y}})}{\sum (x-{\bar {x}})^{2}}}$ .
Here ${\bar {x}}$ and ${\bar {y}}$ are the sample means of $x$ and $y$ .
This function will give the result as error when

 1. Any one of the value is non-numeric.
 2. The values of  $KnownXs$  and  $KnownYs$  are empty or contain a different number of data points.
 3. The variance of  $x$  is zero.

ZOS

The syntax is to calculate this function in ZOS is
- $x$ is the data points.
For e.g.,FORECAST(30,[10,12,16,21,35],[9,14,23,39,76])
FORECAST(61,[22..28],[43..49])
