Description sds 2007-01-24 00:07:36 UTC 
tools -> statistical analysis -> regression
the new regression sheet never mentions the name of the "Y variable" column (even when the "labels" is checked)
it should!
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-01-24 23:40:45 UTC 
Where do you think it should mention it?
Comment 2 sds 2007-01-24 23:47:17 UTC 
e.g., cell C1.
in general, it would be nice to make it easy to recompute the regression, e.g., include a button "recalc" or the function call text in a cell, like "regress(x=A1:C10,y=D1:D10,labels=true,intercept0=true)"
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-01-25 00:09:55 UTC 
It's on my todo list to change the regression page into live formulas like I have done for some of the other tools.

Including the name in C1 ought to be much easier though.
Comment 4 Andreas J. Guelzow 2008-11-28 15:56:54 UTC 
regarding comment #2: I have impleemnted the "live" recalculation a while ago. I guess at that time I missed including the name of the y variable. I am still not sure where it should be included. C1 is in the middle of nowhere.
Comment 5 Andreas J. Guelzow 2008-12-03 05:10:46 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
