With the calculator, in RPN mode, you can proceed as follows:
First, within your HOME directory, create a sub-directory to be called MPFIT
(Multiple linear and Polynomial data FITting) , and enter the MPFIT sub-
directory. Within the sub-directory, type this program:
«
and store it in a variable called MTREG (MulTiple REGression).
Next, enter the matrices X and b into the stack:
[[1,1.2,3.1,2][1,2.5,3.1,2.5 ][1,3.5,4.5,2.5][1,4,4.5,3][1,6,5,3.5]]
Press J@MTREG. The result is: [-2.1649...,–0.7144...,-1.7850...,7.0941...],
i.e.,
y = -2.1649–0.7144 x
You should have in your calculator's stack the value of the matrix X and the
vector b, the fitted values of y are obtained from y = X b, thus, just press *
to obtain: [5.63.., 8.25.., 5.03.., 8.22.., 9.45..].
