Statistical variables are stored as system variables. However,

regCoef

and

regeq

are treated as a list and a function variable, respectively.

polynomial regressions.

Statistical Variables

Statistical calculation results are stored to variables. To access
these variables, type the variable name or use the

VAR-LINK

screen as described in Chapter 21. All statistical variables are
cleared when you edit the data or change the calculation type.
Other conditions that clear the variables are listed on
page 260.

Calculated Variables

Tip: If regeq is 4x + 7, then
regCoef is {4 7}. To access
the “a” coefficient (the 1st
element in the list), use an
index such as regCoef[1].

Note: 1st quartile is the
median of points between
minX and medStat, and 3rd
quartile is the median of points
between medStat and maxX.
