Orthogonal Regression

Graphs - Fitted line plot

  

Minitab displays a plot of the data overlaid with a line illustrating the best fitting orthogonal equation. You can also choose to display the ordinary least squares fitted line for comparison.

Interpretation

The plot of the glucose data indicates that an orthogonal equation is a good fit for the data. The points are fairly close to the line. The least squares regression line is close to the orthogonal fitted line for these data.
