What is weighted residual method?
In estimating a linear relationship using ordinary least squares (OLS), the regression estimates are such that the sums of squares of the residuals are minimised. This method treats all residuals as being as important as others.There may be reasons why the treatment of all residuals in the same way may not be appropriate. One possibility is that there is reason to believe that there is a systematic trend in the size of the error term (residual). One way to compensate for such heteroscedasticity is to give less weight to the residual when the residual is expected to be larger. So, in the regression calculations, rather than minimise the sum of squares of the residuals, what is minimised is their weighted sum of squares.
What is another name for regression method?
time series
What is Least Cubic Method?
"Least Cubic Method" Also called "Generalized the Least Square Method", is new Method of data regression.
Is it possible for you to use trial and error method or the X-method to factor the difference of two squares?
No it is not. At least, not sensibly.
How do you calculate a straight line in statistics?
The method used to calculated the best straight line through a set of data is called linear regression. It is also called the least squares method. I've included two links. I know the wikipedia link is a bit complicated. The slope and intercept are calculated based on "minimum least squares." If I draw a line through the set if points, for every x value in the data set I will have a y value and a predicted y value (y-hat) based on the straight line. The error (E) is this case is the predicted y minus the actual y. Linear regression finds the slope and intercept of the equation that minimizes the sum of the square of the errors. Mathematically this is stated as: Min z = sum (yi - y-hat)^2 To hand calculate a linear regression line wold take some time. The second link that I've included shows how to calculated this using excel.
