Hi MathGroup,
If I have:
<<Statistics`LinearRegression`
FAASCalPts={{1,0.032},{2,0.067},{5,0.183}}
FAASCalFit=Fit[FAASCalPts,{cCaPos},cCaPos]
FAASCalRegression=
Regress[FAASCalPts,{cCaPos},cCaPos,
RegressionReport\[Rule]{SummaryReport,BestFit}]
I expect the answer from Fit, but not the one from Regress. Regress
seems to be ignoring the fact that I only want the first order (and
not the zero/constant order) term.
How do I obtain fit diagnostics if I am forcing a 0 for the constant order?
Thank you,
