Exploratory Regression

Hi there,

I'm trying to check the association between dependent and independent variables in ArcGIS using the "Exploratory Regression" tool.

In fact, all is well. However, there is no documentation describing the function of the "Add Field" button in the tool.

Can someone provide help?

Field

[Candidate_Explanatory_Variables,...]

list of fields to try as OLS model explanatory variables.

Press the Add Field button to select the fields for both from the fields in the table

Thanks for your help.

So, per your explanation, I understand that the "Add Field" button has no function now as it retired element.

That is not the case.

If you are using the tool, you have to use the button.

If you are using the python code, you have to provide the fields.

Where did you find the expression "retired element"

Ok. It is clearer now.

However, using the button is not mandatory when dealing with the tool because I can really select the independent fields by check boxes not by the button. So, the button has no any function, and for that reason I asked my question.
