tried (1,) - still same error ... printed "z" and looks right, len(z) OK (puzzling) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

linregress and polyfit

2013-09-17 Thread Krishnan
I created an xy pair y = slope*x + intercept then I added some noise to "y" using numpy.random.normal - call it z I could recover the slope, intercept from (x,y) using linregress BUT cannot calculate the slope, intercept from (x, z) What is puzzling is that for both pairs (x,y) and (x,z) the
