[Gnuplot-bugs] Bug Report: Gnuplot printout bugs from the "fit" function

[Victor J. S. <sla...@us...>]

Dear Gnuplot,

      The title page of the gnuplot 4.4 manual says to send bug
reports to you.

      This Email reports some minor printout bugs from the gnuplot
"fit" function when using
gnuplot 4.4 patchlevel 3 (last modified March 2011) on a PC using
Red Hat Linux 2.6.18-238.12.1.e15 .

1) When a value range is given for a variable, 'fit.log' echoes
this information, but gives the wrong variable name.

2) In listing "degrees of freedom", "rms of residuals", and
"variance of residuals", an inconsistent variable name is used by
fit.log and by the terminal output.

The attached text files give a simple gnuplot script along with the
resulting output which illustrates the problems.
