linear fit vi?

[Balaji_DP]

The Linear fit.vi how does it work...?

could you explain me the algorithm?

my y  as temperature y= -50 to 1250 deg C and x as voltage x=-5 to 5 v . i want to calculate the slope and intercept. 

i know using linear fit.vi will get answer but i want to know about the algorithm...?  can you explain me?

Hi Balaji,

1) in your picture you're using -10 to 10 as input range in contradiction to your written description...

2) There's a context help for that function - and it also explains the used/available algorithms!

3) When the explanations given in the help aren't helpful enough for you: Have you searched Wikipedia for explanations of used algorithms?

Hello,

the Linear fit VI can use the iterative general Least Square method and the Levenberg-Marquardt method, depending on the method terminal.

Please see the help page of the Linear fit VI for detailed algorithm descriptions.
