JavaScript component for linear least squares regression analysis.

Install

Node.js/Browserify

npm install --save least-squares

Component

component install jprichardson/least-squares

Script

<script src="/path/to/least-squares.js"></script>

Method

lsq(X, Y, [computeError], [returnObject])

• returns a function that computes y = mx + b

inputs:

• X: array of x values
• Y: array of y values
• computeError: compute standard error (optional)
• returnObject: object with fields b, m, and bErr, mErr if computeError is true (optional)

Example

var lsq = require('least-squares')

//(1, 6), (2,5), (3,7), (4,10)
var X = [1,2,3,4]
var Y = [6,5,7,10]

var ret = {}
var f = lsq(X, Y, ret)
console.dir(ret) //{ m: 1.4, b: 3.5 }
console.log(f(3.6)) //8.54

var f = lsq(X, Y, true, ret)
console.dir(ret) //{ m: 1.4, b: 3.5, bErr: 1.7748239349298847, mErr: 0.648074069840786 }
