Linear regression with matplotlib / numpy
I'm trying to generate a linear regression on a scatter plot I have generated, however my data is in list format, and all of the examples I can find of using polyfit require using arange . arange doesn't accept lists though. I have searched high and low about how to convert a list to an array and nothing seems clear. Am I missing something? Following on, how best can I use my list of integers as inputs to the polyfit ? here is the polyfit example I am following: from pylab import * x = arange(data) y = arange(data) m,b = polyfit(x, y, 1) plot(x, y, 'yo', x, m*x+b, '--k') show() DSM arange
