# LinRegIntercept

#### Description <a href="#description_50" id="description_50"></a>

The Linear Regression Intercept outputs the value of the regression constant, i.e. the mathematical intersection of where the regression line meets the price axis.

A straight line can be accurately determined with the help of the slope and intercept values.

See [*Linear Regression*](https://agenatrader.github.io/AgenaIndicator-documentation/indicators_oscillators/#linearregression), [*R-Squared*](https://agenatrader.github.io/AgenaIndicator-documentation/indicators_oscillators/#r-squared) [*LinRegSlope*](https://agenatrader.github.io/AgenaIndicator-documentation/indicators_oscillators/#linregslope).

#### Interpretation <a href="#interpretation_24" id="interpretation_24"></a>

The indicator is not used by itself, but is simply a component of trading systems that analyze trade trends with the help of the linear regression.

#### Usage <a href="#usage_51" id="usage_51"></a>

```csharp
LinRegIntercept(int period)
LinRegIntercept(IDataSeries inSeries, int period)
LinRegIntercept(int period)[int barsAgo]
LinRegIntercept(IDataSeries inSeries, int period)[int barsAgo]
```

#### Return value <a href="#return-value_50" id="return-value_50"></a>

**double**

When using this method with an index (e.g. **LinRegIntercept**(14)\[**int** barsAgo] ), the value of the indicator will be issued for the referenced bar.

#### Parameters <a href="#parameters_45" id="parameters_45"></a>

inSeries Input data series for the indicator

period Number of bars included in the calculations

#### Visualization <a href="#visualization_46" id="visualization_46"></a>

#### Example <a href="#example_49" id="example_49"></a>

```csharp
//Show current value
Print("The current value of the regression constant is: " + LinRegIntercept(14)[0]);
```
