Dear All,
I have a rather unusual problem. I have a set of data for a class in subsurface processes. From that dataset, I must calculate the slope of the best-fit line (which is the parameter of interest). The problem I have is twofold: 1) for the purposes of the exercise, I must force my best-fit line to go through the origin (0,0), and 2) the line must be linear, even though the data is not. I would like to use R to help me calculate the line, but am unaware of any code or packages that will allow me to force the line through the origin.
The dataset is as follows:
C C* 4.1 17.4 6.2 24.9 27.9 39.5 91.1 57.4 168.0 75.5
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.
Sincerely,
