Quick Start

1) Create a regression object.

Pine Script®

2) Create x and y float arrays.
The y values should be what your trying to predict and X values are the bar index offset for each y value.

Pine Script®

Our regression will be from the the close on the 15th bar to the close on the 2nd bar.

3) Fit a regression model
Select a regression type. If using a custom regression type pass a degrees array.

Pine Script®

4) Plot the regression
In the first plot plots the regression at its source values so in this case the 15th bar to the 2nd bar. The second plot plots from the 20th bar to 20 bars in the future.

Regressing a Custom Polynomial
This library allows for fitting a custom polynomial of any form to the passed data set.
Background
The polynomial most are familiar with is where a, b and c are constants:
ax^2 + bx + c
or in a more generalizable notation where c3, c2 and c1 are constants.
c2x^2 + c1x^1 + cx^0
Polynomials are any equation of form where c1 to cn are constants:
cx^0 + c1x^1 + c2x^2 + ... + cnx^n
Note an equation like c3x^3 is still of this form because c0-c2 = 0
The library allows you fit any polynomial of this general form to a data set.

Regression with a Custom Polynomial
Steps 1, 2 and 4 from the quick start remain the same step 3 fitting the regression is where changes are made.
Pass a custom regression type and a degrees array into the fit function.

Pine Script®

The degrees array corresponds to the power of each x value in the polynomial.
For example:

Pine Script®

This array would be the classic polynomial:
cx^0 + c1x^1 + cx^2 = ax^2 + bx + c
see each value in the array corresponds to the power of the exponent in the polynomial.

Example 2:

Pine Script®

This would be a regression for a polynomial of form cx^0+ c3x*3 or ax^3 + c where a, c and c1 are constants.
Example 3:

Pine Script®

This will regress a polynomial of form cx^0 + c3x^3 + c7x^7 + c10x^10 where c, c3, c7 and c10 are constants.

Limitations
Currently matrices cant store more than 100,000. This means the maximum length of the length of the X array multiplied by the length of the degrees array must be less than 100,000

The increasing the length of the degree array will increase computation time.

The Math Behind It
This section will quickly explain the math behind the regression. Reading this section is not needed to use the library.

This library calculates the best fitting polynomials using a least square regression. A normal equation is used to minimize the difference between the solutions vector and the x values.

A matrix is made with each column being the x array raised to the power of each exponent in the degrees array. Consider this an 'image'. The image represents all the possible solutions of multiplying the matrix by vector of real numbers. This is useful because the image is a subspace of all possible solutions to our polynomial.

This is where our y vector comes in. Our y vector will almost certainly not exist in this subspace
so we can not solve for it. So we need to find the closest vector in the solution subspace to our y vector. We do this by projecting our y vector onto the image of our solution subspace. This results in the closest vector within our solution subspace to our y vector. Now we simply need to find the coefficient vector which when multiplied by our image equals our projected vector. This coefficient vector will be the coefficients of the best fitting polynomial.

Note: Typically in linear algebra the image is denoted as A, the y vector as b and the coefficient vector as x*
