NAME

6       dbcolsregression - compute linear regression between two columns
7

SYNOPSIS

9           dbcolsregression  [-a] column1 column2
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Compute linear regression over "column1" and "column2".  Outputs slope,
13       intercept, and correlation coefficient.
14

OPTIONS

16       -a or --include-non-numeric
17           Compute stats over all records (treat non-numeric records as zero
18           rather than just ignoring them).
19
20       -f FORMAT or --format FORMAT
21           Specify a printf(3)-style format for output statistics.  Defaults
22           to "%.5g".
23
24       This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
25
26       -d  Enable debugging output.
27
28       -i or --input InputSource
29           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
30           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
31           objects.
32
33       -o or --output OutputDestination
34           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
35           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
36           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
37
38       --autorun or --noautorun
39           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
40           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
41           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
42
43       --help
44           Show help.
45
46       --man
47           Show full manual.

60   Command:
61           cat DATA/xy.fsdb | dbcolsregression x y | dblistize
62
63   Output:
64           #fsdb -R C slope intercept confcoeff n
65           slope:     -0.79286
66           intercept: 249.86
67           confcoeff: -0.95426
68           n:         7
69
70           #  | dbcolsregression x y
71           #                confidence intervals assume normal distribution and small n.
72           #  | dblistize
