shown below for our particular data set, consists of the following three
lines in RPN mode:
3: '0.195238095238 + 2.00857142857*X'
2: Correlation: 0.983781424465
1: Covariance: 7.03
Level 3 shows the form of the equation. In this case, y = 0.06924 + 0.00383
x. Level 2 shows the sample correlation coefficient, and level 1 shows the
covariance of x-y.
Definitions
For a sample of data points (x,y), we define the sample covariance as
s
The sample correlation coefficient for x,y is defined as
Where s
, s
are the standard deviations of x and y, respectively, i.e.

Linearized relationships
Many curvilinear relationships "straighten out" to a linear form. For example,
the different models for data fitting provided by the calculator can be
linearized as described in the table below.
