Hello I am using OpenOffice Calc. 2.0 to make linear regressions of my scientific data, and was stunned when I discovered that there is no easy way to see the actual equation that the program calculates for the data. Even though there is a nice line drawn on the plot of my data, the equation is hidden somewhere in the software, and I have to make several other calculations (with, for example linest()) to get the konstants that I am looking for...
It seems to me that this is a serious flaw in the programming, because if the program has drawn a line, the equation must be there somewhere, but I am not allowed to see it..? Another thing I miss is a calculation of the Chi², which is very important when determining whether a fit is usable or not. These lacks are the reason that I will no longer use the program, as even my calculator can do better than that. It would be great if these errors (as I see it) were corrected, because I support opensource and would like to use your program with my linux system. Sincerely yours Lea Hildebrandt Rossander
