Hi everyone,

Sometimes the linear regression result computed by FTSP is quite different
from that computed offline. For instance, for the following reference point
table,
     localtime      offset
     5021124      162575
     5082335      162671
     5078357      162681
     5057159      162757
     5054204      162756
     5047944      162757
     5030543      162758
     5025524      162758
1) FTSP gives:
offset = 40 * 10^(-6) * localtime + 162713
offset at localtime 5025524 is 162710

2) Offline gives:
offset = 40.4 * 10^(-6) * localtime + 162510
offset at localtime 5025524 is 162920

It yields difference of 162920 - 162710 = 210 ticks (1 tick is about 1/32
ms), which is, unfortunately, too large for my purpose. Can anyone please
advise if there is anything wrong in the linear regression computation of
FTSP, or this is what can be achieved with integer arithmetic? Some threads
have reported related issues (see
here<http://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/pipermail/tinyos-devel/2010-November/004731.html>and
here<http://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/pipermail/tinyos-help/2012-September/055616.html>),
but I'm unsure whether the latest TinyOS distribution has fixed them. Your
help will be sincerely appreciated.

Best regards,
