                        int n,
                        double *res);

Performs a two-dimensional non-linear fitting on the input points. Fits to "y = a + b * ln (sign * (x - c))", with sign in {-1, +1}. The graph is a logarithmic curve moved horizontally by c and possibly mirrored across the y-axis (if sign = -1).

Fits c (and sign) by iterative trials, but seems to be fast enough even for automatic recomputation.

Adapts c until a local minimum of squared residuals is reached. For each new c tried out the corresponding a and b are calculated by linear regression. If no local minimum is found, an error is returned. If there is more than one local minimum, the one found is not necessarily the smallest (i.e., there might be cases in which the returned fit is not the best possible). If the shape of the point cloud is to different from ``logarithmic'', either sign can not be determined (error returned) or no local minimum will be found.

(Requires: at least 3 different x values, at least 3 different y values.)

#### Parameters

xs | x-vector (i.e. independent data) |
ys | y-vector (dependent data) |
n | number of data points |
res | output place for sign[0], a[1], b[2], c[3], and sum of squared residuals[4]. |

#### Returns

GORegressionResult as above.

                               go_regression_stat_t *stat_);

Fits to "y = b + a1 * z1 + ... ad * zd" with "zi = ln (xi)". Problems with arrays in the calling function: see comment to gnumeric_linest, which is also valid for gnumeric_logreg.

Performs one-dimensional linear regressions on the input points. Fits to "y = b * x1^m1 * ... * xd^md " or equivalently to "log y = log b + m1 * log x1 + ... + md * log xd".

#### Parameters

xss | x-vectors (i.e. independent data) |
dim | number of x-vectors |
ys | y-vector (dependent data) |
n | number of data points |
affine | if `TRUE`, a non-one multiplier is allowed |
res | output place for constant[0] and root1[1], root2[2],... There will be dim+1 results. |
stat_ | storage for additional results. | [out][optional]

#### Returns

GORegressionResult as above.
