POLFIT II, AN IBM 7090 PROGRAM FOR POLYNOMIAL LEAST SQUARES FITTING

A program was written to perform polynomial least squares fits on the IBM 7090 computer. Weighting factors may be included with the data if desired. The program includes a subroutine which does the fit and furnishes the calling program with the coefficients, standard errors in the coefficients, staandard error of fit, and information necessary to compute a complete error analysis; and a calling program which reads input, calls the subroutine, and writes requested output. The subroutine may be used separately in any Fortran or FAP program where a least squares fit is needed. (auth
