APPLETSOURCEDESCRIPTION
Line of Best FitNational Council of Teachers of Mathematics, IlluminationsUsers can place points on a scatterplot and guess at the best fit line before showing actual regression line and correlation, can also move or delete points.  more
Regression by EyePrentice-Hall Applets (West)For randomly generated data, users try to find best fit by manipulating a line and comparing its SSE to the regression SSE before showing actual regression line.  more
Least Squares Criteria for the Least Squares Regression LineWolfram Demonstrations ProjectFor one of three data sets, users try to find least squares line guided by squared errors (shown graphically) before showing actual regression line. Requires download of Mathematica Player as well as demo itself, good for classroom demonstration.  more
Linear and Quadratic Curve Fitting PracticeWolfram Demonstrations ProjectFor one several data sets for which number of points and errors can be adjusted, users try to find least squares line guided by squared errors and total error (shown graphically) before showing actual regression line, also has option for quadratic functions. Requires download of Mathematica Player as well as demo itself, good for classroom demonstration.  more
Least SquaresThe Geometer's SketchpadGuided by squared errors, users try to find best fit line for sample data that can be altered.  more
Least Squares RegressionRossman/Chance Applet CollectionGuided by squared errors, users try to find best fit line for sample data that can be altered.  more
RegressionInteractivateDisplays a user-estimated regression line and/or the actual regression line along with sample correlation as users place and move points on a plot.  more
Confidence and Prediction BandsWolfram Demonstrations ProjectShows visual representation of confidence and prediction bands based on observations and confidence level that can both be varied. Requires download of Mathematica Player as well as demo itself, good for classroom demonstration.  more
