->oooer: Thanks for you comments. You are probably right, that forcing a
regression curve to go through a certain point might lead to wrong results
without the user noticing this.
Well, we have one vote, one comment here FOR having the feature and one AGAINST.
I must admit I do not have too much practical experience with regression, so I
cannot really vote for or against this feature. The only point that is a FOR is,
that MS has this feature in Excel (that's why this issue has the
interoperability keyword), thus we will need this feature for improving our
import filters.
Of course, we still have to decide about a UI for it. And maybe we can show a
warning dialog that tells a user that what he does might not be what he wants.
->oooer: Is there a way to analyze the data and find out if limiting the curve
to a certain point makes sense or not? I mean, I could imagine that if your
curve passes the point only by a very small amount (relative error), it might
not completely fake the result. Of course, the question still remains, why you
would want to adjust the curve to pass a certain point. It is only a regression
or trend curve, not something where you can read data of.
