The Red lines are the inputs and the Black line is the hypothetical output.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>This seems like it could be a very complicated undertaking and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone has already thought through this, or any thoughts about how I could best go about accomplishing this, thanks?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:15:15 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-statistics-questions/create-composite-line/m-p/212746#M665 KeithSandell 2010-09-27T23:15:15Z Re: Create Composite Line https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-statistics-questions/create-composite-line/m-p/212747#M666 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><BLOCKQUOTE class="jive-quote">...there is an effective and theoretically justified solution...</BLOCKQUOTE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Bill,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Wow!

I DO ! </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>do you know how can i do that ??? </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>i have a shape file with a lot of points in it and i wanna graph a best fit line for a selected group of them... i'll really appreciate it if you can help me</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards, </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Ammar</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 19 Nov 2010 12:59:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-statistics-questions/create-composite-line/m-p/212748#M667 ammarafaneh 2010-11-19T12:59:29Z Re: Create Composite Line https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-statistics-questions/create-composite-line/m-p/212749#M668 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>thanx whuber </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>i know how to do it mathematically i actually use linear regression </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>i wanted to do it in ArcGIS .. code or tool or something like that</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:21:53 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-statistics-questions/create-composite-line/m-p/212749#M668 ammarafaneh 2010-11-19T18:21:53Z
