Re: [ferret_users] regression issue: one variable VS another variables



Hi David,
Sure, PLOT/VS/LINE  will just connect the dots in the order they appear in the variables, with no plot marker.
Instead of the last line in your example, substitute,

    yes? plot/vs/nolab/over/line p,qhat

Or, to be more accurate, if there's missing data, you want to plot p only where there are valid values of P and Q.  Look at the regression script

   yes? go/help regresst

and see that the variable pmasked is "p where p and q"

   yes? plot/vs/nolab/over/line pmasked,qhat

Hi Yangxing,

Here is an example that you can reproduce:

yes? use "http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/.Indices/.nino/.NCEP_OIv2/dods"
yes? sh d
     currently SET data sets:
    1> http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/.Indices/.nino/.NCEP_OIv2/dods  (default)
 name     title                             I         J         K         L
 NINO12   NINO12                           ...       ...       ...       1:328
 NINO3    NINO3                            ...       ...       ...       1:328
 NINO34   NINO34                           ...       ...       ...       1:328
 NINO4    NINO4                            ...       ...       ...       1:328

yes? let p = nino3
yes? let q = nino34
yes? go regresst
yes? plot/vs p,q
yes? plot/vs/nolab/over/line/sym=dot p,qhat

OK, I admit it's not really a straight line, but a series of connected dots. Does anyone out there know if PLOT/VS can have no marker?

Hi,

 Thanks for help. But I am still not clear.

 My question is: sst, a function of time, is an independent variable. and u is a dependent variable, which is also a function of time. How can we make a line plot when u is regressed onto sst? Apparently sst as an independent variable is not originally monotonic, it has be reshaped, right?

 The FAQ indicates that regresst only describes how to regress a variable (a function of time) into the independent variable T, Am I right? For example, we can do regression sst vs T using regresst.jnl

 The attached figure is a scatter plot of u (in Y-coordinate) VS sst ( in X-coordinate). Can you explain more details for my case?
