Look, this is purely a statistical question; if you want me to go into science details, I could, but they're absolutely irrelevant. I have data. I need to figure out if there is a correlation between the x and y variables/the slope of said line in the case of a linear regression. I'm sure...

What other details do you want? I want to see if there's a linear correlation between the x and y variables, and have data points that look like: l l l ------x------------------- l Or something like that where x is the data point and the l's/-'s represent the error (but of different...

? I don't think you understand. There's some probability distribution which says that each data point can lie somewhere in between some x1 and x2 and some y1 and y2; these uncertainties are of different magnitudes for each data point, and the fact that they are different means that the data...

I've been trying to figure out how to do a linear regression on data with asymmetric x and y error bars (different for each data point). Any help would be much appreciated.
