Deleting Variables

You can delete any effect in a fit analysis. To see this, do the following:


Select DRILTIME, then DEPTH, then METHOD in the data window.


Choose Analyze:Fit (Y X).

A fit window appears, as shown in Figure 21.15.

Choose Edit:Delete.


This recalculates the fit window without the effect you deleted. Now you have two fit windows for two different models.

Deleting METHOD caused the adjusted R-square value to drop from 0.4218 to 0.3332. It was expected that different drilling methods might produce different drilling times.
