Syntax: LLS(A, Y)
A = a range
Y = a range
LLS generates:
If any columns of A are linearly dependent, the function produces an error.
The output of LLS is a a table with four rows and n+1
columns, where n is the number of independent variables
in the model (i.e., the number of columns in the A
matrix). The table is presented in the following format:
where
![]() |
= | the least squares estimate of the ith coefficient, corresponding to the independent variable in the ith column of A. |
![]() |
= | the standard error of ![]() |
![]() |
= | the t-statistic for testing whether ![]() |
![]() |
= | the probability of error in rejecting
the null hypothesis that ![]() |
![]() |
= | the mean squared error of the model. |
MSE | = | the model coefficient of determination (the square of the model correlation coefficient, R). |
![]() |
= | the t-statistic for testing whether ![]() |
![]() |
= | the probability of error in rejecting
the null hypothesis that ![]() |
