Hi All,

I may be off base, but I can't seem to find what regression method is
used in computing a 'quadratic' regression using REGSTATS (is it a
least-squares regression?).

I've used this program to run a regression on a data set with two weak
predictors, and am happy with the agreement, but need to define what
method was used before I can be comfortable with my predictions.

Thanks in advance,
Phil

Phil, yes it is least squares, just with additional columns representing the
interaction and squared values of the input data matrix.
