Calculate the least‐squares line fit coefficients.

Synopsis

Declared in <bdlsta_linefit.h>

void
fit(
    double* alpha,
    double* beta) const;

Description

Calculate line fit coefficients Y = Alpha + Beta * X, and populate the specified alpha (intercept) and beta (slope). The behavior is undefined if 2 > count or all X's are identical.

Parameters

Name

Description

alpha

receives the intercept of the fitted line

beta

receives the slope of the fitted line
