So.... the higher the T-stat, the less fits or the more it fits into the regression? P value? Should I pull any of the columns? I'm trying to establish a relationship.... Fvcking econ....

does anyone know what the play is called when the ball hits the ground on the 3rd strike and you have to tag or throw the batter out?

Chi-Squared baby... minimize it and you're golden :)

WTF are you guys talking about?

Chi-Squared is the parameter that tells you how good your fit is. Basically you take the value of the function of your fit at a certain point, and find the difference between that function and the data point it passes closeset to. You square it, do the same for all of the points, average them, and then square root it (I think).

That's also the R-squared value in this paritcular case. Also....look for large p-values. Generally, anything over 10% (.1) you'd like to throw out as they don't correlate well to the regression. Throw out that particular column and then re-run the regression.

In general, when I'm looking for fit, I look at the R-squared for trend line fit and the p-value to identify which parameter doesn't fit the regression. Throw it out, re-run, re-evaluate R-squared and p-value.
