To invoke, type
. grols
This program shows the regression line between X and Y using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Regression.
When you run grols a simple regression line is displayed and with a single point which is the predicted value for Y when X is 0. You can change the intercept (a) and slope (b) of the line, and you can increase/decrease X to show how the predicted value of Y changes as X changes, as described below.
The dialogue box allows you to adjust a-.1 and a+.1 : adding and subtracting .1 from the intercept. b-.1 and b+.1 : adding and subtracting .1 from the slope. X-1 and X+1 (if you choose "show point at predicted value of X") This allows you to add and subtract 1 from X, and see how it impacts the predicted value of Y.
The "Done" button quits the program. The "Reset" button resets a, b and X to their default values, i.e., a=0, b=1, and X=0. The "Help" button brings up this help screen. Author ------
