Linear Regression in Javascript [closed]

Answer 1

Somewhat based on Nic Mabon's answer.

function linearRegression(x, y)
{
    var xs = 0;  // sum(x)
    var ys = 0;  // sum(y)
    var xxs = 0; // sum(x*x)
    var xys = 0; // sum(x*y)
    var yys = 0; // sum(y*y)

    var n = 0;
    for (; n < x.length && n < y.length; n++)
    {
        xs += x[n];
        ys += y[n];
        xxs += x[n] * x[n];
        xys += x[n] * y[n];
        yys += y[n] * y[n];
    }

    var div = n * xxs - xs * xs;
    var gain = (n * xys - xs * ys) / div;
    var offset = (ys * xxs - xs * xys) / div;
    var correlation = Math.abs((xys * n - xs * ys) / Math.sqrt((xxs * n - xs * xs) * (yys * n - ys * ys)));

    return { gain: gain, offset: offset, correlation: correlation };
}

Then y' = x * gain + offset.
