  Description     : weighted linear regression package (line+plane fitting)
 Regression.pm is a multivariate linear regression package. That is, it
 estimates the c coefficients for a line-fit of the type
 .
 y= c(0)*x(0) + c(1)*x1 + c(2)*x2 + ... + c(k)*xk
 .
 given a data set of N observations, each with k independent x variables and
 one y variable. Naturally, N must be greater than k---and preferably
 considerably greater. Any reasonable undergraduate statistics book will
 explain what a regression is. Most of the time, the user will provide a
 constant ('1') as x(0) for each observation in order to allow the
regression
 package to fit an intercept.

This package is required by Chemistry::Ring, which enhances
Chemistry::Mol and its reverse dependencies.
