REGRESSION
Linear Regression Datasets

REGRESSION is a dataset directory which contains test data for linear regression.

The simplest kind of linear regression involves taking a set of data (x_i,y_i), and trying to determine the "best" linear relationship

        y = a * x + b
      

        ei = yi - a * xi - b
      

The data files have a simple format:

• initial comment lines, each beginning with a "#".
• the number of columns of data;
• the number of rows of data;
• for each column of data, a line containing a column label; the first column is always "Index" and counts the rows; if there is a column labeled "A0" it usually contains the value 1.0;
• each row of data, on a separate line, with data separated by spaces.

There are also some extended examples, which involve an M by N linear system, a set of linear constraints to be solved exactly, and a set of linear inequalities. In that case, a master file lists the sizes of the three sets of data, and the name of the first file, which contains the linear system.
