library.correg Submodule

Module Summary

Interfaces for the NAG Mark 29.3 correg Chapter.

correg - Correlation and Regression Analysis

This module is concerned with two techniques

  1. correlation analysis and

  2. regression modelling,

both of which are concerned with determining the inter-relationships among two or more variables.

Other modules of the NAG Library which cover similar problems are submodule fit and submodule opt. Submodule fit functions may be used to fit linear models by criteria other than least squares and also for polynomial regression; submodule opt functions may be used to fit nonlinear models and linearly constrained linear models.

This subpackage contains examples for the correg module. See also the Examples subsection.
