(python example not good) |

The Python example solves a different problem, namely fitting a quadratic polynomial in one variable to a set of points in the plane. What is asked for is a way of fitting a _linear_ poynomial in _several_ variables to a set of points in some dimension. I think np.linalg.lstsq() , a function from numpy , is what is needed. |

==Task description has too many equations and not enough guidance== |

Could someone at least try and mitigate the need to at least think you know what multiple regression is, before you can make sense of the page? |

The task doesn't ask for an example computation, and the wikipedia page on OLS is impenetrable to the good programmer/lesser mathematician. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:13, 2 April 2011 (UTC) |
