bfsl - Best-Fit Straight Line
How to fit a straight line through a set of points with
errors in both coordinates? The 'bfsl' package implements the
York regression (York, 2004 <doi:10.1119/1.1632486>). It
provides unbiased estimates of the intercept, slope and
standard errors for the best-fit straight line to independent
points with (possibly correlated) normally distributed errors
in both x and y. Other commonly used errors-in-variables
methods, such as orthogonal distance regression, geometric mean
regression or Deming regression are special cases of the 'bfsl'
solution.
