When you select OneVa or TwoVa, the abbreviation OneVar or TwoVar is displayed. For PwrR and ExpR, the elements of xList and yList must be integers , 1. Default for iterations is 64. Chapter 14: Statistics 191 For OneVa, the syntax is: OneVar ãxList,frequencyListä For TwoVa, the syntax is: TwoVar ãxLlist,yList,frequencyList ä For LinR, LnR, ExpR, PwrR, P2Reg, P3Reg, and P4Reg, the syntax is: TwoVar ãxList,yList,frequencyListä For SinR, the syntax is: SinR ãiterations,xList,yList,period,equationVariableä iterations is the number of iterations to go through; higher values for iterations produce a better fit, but take longer to calculate. period is an initial guess at which to begin calculation. For LgstR, the syntax is: LgstR ãiterations,xList,yList,frequencyList,equationVariableä To copy the contents RegEq to any variable after calculating the regression, the syntax is: StReg(variable) Automatic Regression Equation Storage LinR, LnR, ExpR, PwrR, SinR, LgstR, P2Reg, P3Reg, and P4Reg are regression models. Each regression model has an optional argument, equationVariable, for which you can specify an equation variable, such as y1. Upon execution, the regression equation is stored automatically to the specified equation variable, and the function is selected. Regardless of whether you specify equationVariable, the regression equation always is stored to the result variable RegEq, which is an item on the STAT VARS menu. The regression equation displays the actual result values.
