Least Squares
=============

This gem adds methods to the Math module to aid in calculating the Least
Squares Regression Line given two arrays.

Example Usage:
    xs = [9300, 10565, 15000, 15000, 17764, 57000, 65940, 73676, 77006, 93739, 146088, 153260,]
    ys = [7100, 15500, 4400, 4400, 5900, 4600, 8800, 2000, 2750, 2550, 960, 1025,]
    
    lsqr = Math.least_squares(xs,ys)
    puts (10_000..150_000).step(10_000).map{|n| lsqr.call(n)}
