Hi all,
in function RGR_FindBestRegression, after get the value of a and b for formula y(estimated)= a + b * x( measured ),
it counts how many times for every two contiguous sample points cross over the estimated line in n_runs_from_residuals function.
where are the values in array critical_runs come from ?
for example, when there are total 50 sample points, if the total runs value is larger than 19, then the value of a and b is reliable.
the comment is "Critical value for number of runs of residuals with same sign. 5% critical region for now."
what is the formula or method to get the runs value of 19 for 50 samples?
thanks
