Certainly, it is possible. But with FindFit you will have to create the functions to do the computation since outputing additional statistics is not supported in FindFit. OTOH, the standard statistics packages supplied with Mathematica are already designed to do exactly this. If you are doing a linear regression problem, then load the package Statistics`LinearRegression` and use the function Regress. The default output provides measures of the goodness of fit. For a non-linear problem, load the package Statistics`NonLinearFit` and use the function NonlinearRegress to get similar measures of the goodness of fit. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
