LinRegAngleArray (Function)

image\trumpet2.gif Disclaimer

The LinRegAngleArry function calculates the angle of a linear regression line from an array of values.

Syntax

LinRegAngleArray(PriceArray, Size)

Returns (Integer)

LinRegArray returns the angle of the linear regression line.

Parameters

Name

Type

Description

PriceArray

NumericArray

Specifies the numeric array of data elements to evaluate.

Size

Numeric

Sets the number of elements (size) in the array to consider.

Remarks

Linear Regression is a concept also known as the "least squares method" or "best fit." Linear Regression attempts to fit a straight line between several data points in such a way that distance between each data point and the line is minimized.

The equation of any line resembles the following:

y = mx + b

In the equation m refers to the slope of the regression line, b refers to the constant intercept of the y-axis, x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable. This function returns all values.

Example

Assigns to Value1 the angle of a linear regression line.

Array: myArray[20](0);

Value1 = LinRegAngleArray (myArray, 20);
