Weighted Least Squares Regression, using Excel, VBA, Alglib and Python
Least squares linear regression in Excel is easy. That’s what the Linest and Trend functions do. That is, they find the coefficients of a straight line (or higher dimension shape) so that the sum of the squares of the distances of … Continue reading

Non-linear frame analysis; moment curvature and self-weight
The Python/Fortran/Excel frame analysis program (previous version here) now has several new features added to the 2D-solver routines: The beam bending behaviour may now be specified with moment-curvature tables, rather than the linear-plastic behaviour required in the previous version. Beam … Continue reading
