the program CRMC developed in Chapter 10. Next, save this matrix into the
statistical matrix

ΣDAT, by using function STOΣ.


Finally, launch the data fit application by using:

‚Ù˜˜@@@OK@@@ . The

display shows the current

ΣDAT, already loaded. Change your set up screen

to the following parameters if needed:

Press

@@@OK@@@, to get:

1: '3.99504833324*EXP(-.579206831203*X)'

2:

Correlation:

-0.996624999526

3:

Covariance:

-6.23350666124


The best fit for the data is, therefore, y = 3.995 e

-0.58

x
