Performing Regression Analysis on Excel: Two Methods

AI Thread Summary
Regression analysis in Excel can be performed using two primary methods. The first method involves the "=LINEST()" function, which provides statistical information about a linear regression model. The second method utilizes the Excel Analysis ToolPak Add-In, accessible under the "Data Analysis" option in the "Tools" menu, which offers a built-in regression routine. If the Analysis ToolPak is not visible, it can be installed through the Add-Ins menu. These methods allow users to calculate the correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination effectively.

Does anyone know how to do a regression analysis on excel? I need to find the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination and I only know how to do that with a graphing calculator TI 83+

Two ways:
1. use the "=LINEST()" spreadsheet function. For further instructions go to help (F1), then type LINEST.
2. Excel Analysis ToolPak Add-In (which, if installed, will show up as an item "Data Analysis" under the "Tools" menu) has a built-in regression routine:
A. If you see Data Analysis as an item under the Tools menu, click on it, then choose regression, then follow instructions on the dialog box that will open up.
B. If you do not see Data Analysis under Tools menu, then you need to install it. On the menu, click on Tools then Add-Ins; a dialog box will pop up. Check the white square (□) next to the "Analysis ToolPak" item. Click OK, then go to step A above.
 
I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
