Hi Changshui -
Just use the standard statistics formulas.
I guess you know that Ferret cannot use variable names x and y. So
let's say the variables are xx and yy and that each is a time series.
let xbar = xx[l=@ave]
let ybar = yy[l=@ave]
let xy = xx*yy
let xybar = xy[l=@ave]
let xsq = xx^2
let xsqbar = xsq[l=@ave]
let b = (xybar-(xbar*ybar))/(xsqbar-xbar^2)
let a = ybar - b*xbar
Also see the documentation for the included script variance.jnl. (From
the command line, Fgo -more variance)

Hello!
I have two variable in one dataset, y is model result while x is
observation. How to apply a y=a+b*x fit? I saw
"LINFIT,n,XIMIN,XIMAX,XOMIN,XOMAX" in the manual.
Can anyone give some clue or examples?
Thank you in advance.
