regression sheet does not mention the name of the dependent column
Last modified: 2008-12-03 05:10:46 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!
Where do you think it should mention it?
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)"
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.
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.
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.
