The linear function is popular in economics. It is attractive because it is simple and easy to handle mathematically. It has many important applications. Linear functions are those whose graph is a ...

If two linear functions have the same slope they are parallel. Slopes of linear functions The slope of a linear function is the same no matter where on the line it is measured. (This is not true for ...

Current support is limited to modeling the graph of a continuous piecewise linear function, either univariate or bivariate, with the goal of adding support for the epigraphs of lower semicontinuous ...

I displayed these d values on the graph for you. Notice that they are the vertical distance from the real data points to the fitting linear function. Why this way?
