reg-ss: The regression sum of squares.
reside-ss: The residual sum of squares.
Usage Notes
It does not matter whether the known x values and known y values are in rows or
Â
columns. In either case, the returned array is ordered by rows as illustrated in the
table.
The example assumed five sets of known x values. If there were more or less than
Â
five, the number of columns in the returned array would change accordingly (it is
always equal to the number of sets of known x values plus 1), but the number of
rows would remain constant.
If additional statistics are not specified in the arguments to LINEST, the returned
Â
array is equal to the first row only.
LOGINV
The LOGINV function returns the inverse of the log-normal cumulative distribution
function of x.
LOGINV(probability, mean, stdev)
Â
probability: A probability associated with the distribution. probability is a number
value and must be greater than 0 and less than 1.
Â
mean: The mean of the natural logarithm, that is, ln
(x)
. mean is a number value and
is the average (arithmetic mean) of ln
(x)
; the natural logarithm of x.
Â
stdev: The standard deviation of the population. stdev is a number value and must
be greater than 0.
Usage Notes
LOGINV is appropriate where the logarithm of x is normally distributed.
Â
Example
=LOGINV(0.78, 1.7, 2.2) returns 29.9289150377259.
