In some of the latest versions of all these spreadsheets, there are ways to calculate least squares regression using built-in functions, which have the advantage of recalculating immediately whenever data are changed. Print the graph and the statistics for the regression analysis. Other tools are helpful for saving time in comparing the fit of different equations to a given data set. While these DOS based tools are slow, cumbersome at first, and not fully automated, the source code can easily be modified to add other equations if needed. Then you will need to copy the files to the new directory.
Instructions are on the board.
Seek help if you have limited or no DOS experience. Note the name of the current data file. You may change it following the instructions on the screen. Record relevant data and statistics for all models you try to fit. The assignment is due Tues., Jan. 20.
