Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Calculator Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jul 13, 2011

I have a TI-84 plus calculator. I enter data into a table (L1 & L2) and go through the steps to get an equation for the data. Next, I should be able to press VARS, move to Y-VARS, select FUNCTION, then select Y-1 and automatically enter the equation into Y-1. Each time I try this I get an error message. I have checked to make sure my table is correct and even tried using different information in the table. I consistently receive the error message.

    Could you tell us what the error message says?

  • Anonymous Jul 13, 2011

    The error says ERR:INVALID

Your assumption
--Next, I should be able to press VARS, move to Y-VARS, select FUNCTION, then select Y-1 and automatically enter the equation into Y-1.-
is not correct.

When you press [STAT[>][CALC][4:LinReg(ax+b)] or any other regression model,the command echoes on the main screen. If you press [ENTER] at this point, the calculator uses by default lists L1 and L2 and displays the resulting equation without copying it in a Y-variable.

If you want to have the equation copied on a Y-function, you should modify the command as follows
LineReg(ax+b) [SHIFT][1: L1] [,] SHIFT[2:L2] [,] [VARS][>:Y-Vars] [1:Function][1:Y-1][ENTER].

Here, [>] stands for RightArrow. For any other regression model, use the appropriate command.
At this point, the command line should look like the following:

LinReg(ax+b) L1, L2, Y1

Press [ENTER] to calculate you get the same screen as when you do not save the equation in Y1, but if you go to the Y= editor or press GRAPH, you will see the regression line superposed on the scatter plot.

    Thank you. Your method works. However, in the past, I was able to copy an equation to a Y function by pressing [VARS][>:Y-Vars] [1:Function][1:Y-1][ENTER] while the equation derived from L1, L2 was displayed on the screen. Is it possible that a default setting in the calculator has been changed?

  • k24674 Jul 13, 2011

    No there is no default setting. I believe you are mistaken when you say you used to do it. Here is why. Try entering 3*X+3 [STO>] ...Y1 and ENTER. You get ERR:DATA TYPE.
    When a result of a regression is still displayed, there are several data y, a, b. Which one gets stored in Y1? The results displayed are not on the command line, and cannot be stored in answer memory (ANS) because ANS hold just one number. Sorry if that does not answer your question.

I need to enter two columns of,values, x and y, to determine the linear equation but my table,only,displays the x column. How do,I get the y column back to enter numbers in?

Use the STAT function
Press STAT>EDIT >1:EDIT
Enter independent x_variable in L1, and y-variable in L2
To do calculations, Look under CALC (see 3rd screen capture).

Ti 84 plus silver edition will not fit a linear model to plotted points. when I use the function vars>stat>EQ>RegEQ it transmits incomplete data in to Y=.

Your data must be in two lists L1 (for x-values), and L2 (for y-values). This is the default setting. Open the STAT utility, go to the regression models. Select your model then press ENTER. The command echoes on the main screen. For example let the regression be something called LinReg.
On the main screen you see LinReg
Complete the command line as follows
LinReg L1, L2, Y1, ENTER
You see the statistics including the regression equation.
If you go to Y= Editor you will see that Y1 contains the regression equation.
If you have already drawn the scatter plot for your data, pressing GRAPH will superpose the scatter plot and the regression curve., and you will be able to judge the goodness of the fit.

How can i calculate the parameters of a logistic function? what do i have to type into my calculator inorder to get an answer?

Enter the data in the lists (L1, L2)
Press STAT>Edit to do so.
Press [2nd][QUIT] exit the statistics editor.
Press STAT>CALC>B:Logistic
Select data list if not default.
Specify the Yx function where you want the equation to be stored.
Press Calculate and wait for your parameters.
If you need some of the extra statistics (R^2 if defined) , go to the CATALOG , look for DiagnosticsOn and press ENTER.

I have an TI-84 and when I put in my points in L1 and L2 I get my graph but when I go to my tables it doesn't show my points instead I get the X that shows up when there isn't points in.

when you do your regression (stat --> calc --> linReg/QuadReg/whichever regression you're doing)) make sure you put the equation into Y1 before going to the table.

I am trying to graph a least-squares line on my TI-84 Plus. I have the numbers correctly plugged into my Stat Edit tables, and I am able to access my linear equation, and the first time I entered my graph...

After you enter the data draw the SCATTER plot first.
When you perform the (linear) regression analysis LineReg, save the regression equation to a function, for example Y1
The syntax is
LineReg L1, L2, Y1 ENTER


From the Stat>CALC menu press LineReg
The command echoes on command line
Press [2nd][1] to enter the L1 list on command line
Press [,] to separate
Press [2nd] [2] to enter L2 on the command line
Press [,] the comma again
Press [VARS][>][Y-Vars][1~Function][1:Y1] [ENTER]
Press [GRAPH] to have the regression line equation drawn
on the same screen as the Scatter Plot you drew before.

I want to enter in numbers for L1 and L2, but when I go the TABLE there is no L1 or L2 column, only X, and there are numbers entered in the X column that I want to delete. How do I clear the X values,...

The table is where the calculator displays values from functions entered in the Y= page. To enter numbers into lists, press STAT and select Edit to get into the list editor.

When I enter the Regression Equation into the "y=" calculated from the Statistics that I input, it inputs half the equation into the power. Like X^(n 3) instead of X^(n) 3 which is what it is meant to be.

The regression equation can be copied automatically in a Yx variable. You need not enter it manually(?).
Example: Suppose you are performing a quadratic regression on data stored in L1 and L2.

Linreg

enter your data into L1 as x-coordinates and L2 as y-coordinates at (STAT) + (EDIT) and then turn on your StatPlot. Finally, press (STAT) ->(CALC) -> (4)LinReg(ax+b) and (L1) (,) (L2) (Y1)
nb: Y1 could be find from (VARS) -> (Y-VARS)->(1:Function...)

Standard deviation

Here goes if you still need this...

STAT, EDIT, put information into L1 if only one variable stats, but put info into L1 and L2 if it is frequency table stats.

Then choose Stat, over to CALC, 1, enter...if 1 variable stats then press enter again. If frequency table stats, then choose STAT, over to CALC, 1, 2nd, 1 [L!], 2nd, 2 [L2], enter.
