When fitting models to data, it is often useful to analyze how well the model fits the data and how well the fitting meets the assumptions of the model. For a number of ...
Monitor
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Monitor[expr, mon] generates a temporary monitor cell in which the continually updated current value of mon is displayed during the course of evaluation of expr.
Interpolation[{f_1, f_2, ...}] constructs an interpolation of the function values f_i, assumed to correspond to x values 1, 2, ... . Interpolation[{{x_1, f_1}, {x_2, f_2}, ...
LinearModelFit[{y_1, y_2, ...}, {f_1, f_2, ...}, x] constructs a linear model of the form \[Beta]_0 + \[Beta]_1 f_1 + \[Beta]_2 f_2 + ... that fits the y_i for successive x ...
Union
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Union[list_1, list_2, ...] gives a sorted list of all the distinct elements that appear in any of the list_i. Union[list] gives a sorted version of a list, in which all ...
ChiSquareDistribution[\[Nu]] represents a \[Chi]^2 distribution with \[Nu] degrees of freedom.
