FORECAST (x,KnownYs,KnownXs)
- is the data point .
- is the dependent array of data.
- is the independent array of data.
- FORECAST(), returns a value along a linear trend.
is the data point .
is the dependent array of data.
is the independent array of data.
Description
- This function gives the predicted value of the dependent variable for the specific value , of the independent variable by using a least squares linear regression to predict values from values.
- In , is the data point to predict a value.
- is the dependent array of data to predict the -value and is the independent array of data to predict the -value.
- The formula for is
- where and .
- Here and are the sample means of and .
- This function will give the result as error when
values from 
, 
is 
and 
.
and 
are the sample means of 1. Any one of the value is non-numeric. 2. The values of and are empty or contain a different number of data points. 3. The variance of is zero.
ZOS
- The syntax is to calculate this function in ZOS is
- 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])
