Statistical Data
Under "Plotting a Scatter Diagram," we displayed a scatter diagram and then
performed a logarithmic regression calculation. Let's use the same procedure to
look at the various regression functions.
k k k k k Linear Regression Graph
Linear regression plots a straight line that passes close to as many data points as
possible, and returns values for the slope and
0) of the line.
The graphic representation of this relationship is a linear regression graph.

k k k k k Med-Med Graph
When it is suspected that there are a number of extreme values, a Med-Med
graph can be used in place of the least squares method. This is also a type of
linear regression, but it minimizes the effects of extreme values. It is especially
useful in producing highly reliable linear regression from data that includes
irregular fluctuations, such as seasonal surveys.
