This probably isn't the right forum to ask in, but are the equations
used by linest to calculate all of the bits that it can output
documented somewhere?

Thanks!

Thanks to both Michael and Stan, but that's only 2 of the bits. I
should have said I'm mostly interested in the bits that *aren't* slope
and intercept (they're trivially easy). In particular, I haven't found
anywhere the equations to calculate the SE of the coefficients and the
SE of the constant.


Then, with all due respect, you're not looking.

http://www.tc3.edu/instruct/sbrown/stat/infregr.htm is one of literally
millions of examples.

Thank you. I was clearly googling the wrong terms...
