TrendLineLogarithmic(SeriesCollection,Double,Int32,Int32) Method
Find the best fit for the function f(x) = a + b * ln(x).
Syntax
'Declaration Public Overloads Shared Function TrendLineLogarithmic( _ ByVal sc As SeriesCollection, _ ByVal step As Double, _ ByVal forward As Integer, _ ByVal backward As Integer _ ) As SeriesCollection
'Usage Dim sc As SeriesCollection Dim step As Double Dim forward As Integer Dim backward As Integer Dim value As SeriesCollection value = ForecastEngine.TrendLineLogarithmic(sc, step, forward, backward)
public static SeriesCollection TrendLineLogarithmic( SeriesCollection sc, double step, int forward, int backward )
Parameters
- sc
- A collection of series objects. For example, to evaluate this indicator for two series you will need to pass a series collection containing this two series.
- step
- The distance in the x-coordinate between two adjacent extended points. Please note that this also corresponds to the distance in the x-coordinate between the highest and lowest original data point and the first (above or below) additional evaluation point.
- forward
- The number of additional evaluation points which are evaluated above the x-coordinates of the original given data set.
- backward
- The number of additional evaluation points which are evaluated below the x-coordinates of the original given data set.
Return Value
A series where the k-th element of the array represents of k-th point (i.e. { x_k, y_k }) of the total set over which the fitted function is evaluated. The total set over which the fitted function is evaluated consists of the `backward' points, original data set points and the `forward' points.
Remark: This methods corresponds in functionality to the method of the same name within Microsoft Excel.
