In Excel LOGEST() is used to perform exponential regression on a set of data points. If worst came to worst I could automate Excel, but I'd rather avoid it:

- its accuracy is doubtful (www.npl.co.uk/npl/publications/news/ise/countingonit_issue9.pdf)
- Excel may not be available

Has anyone implemented anything like this in VFP? Is there an external library/.DLL callable from VFP? I've started to look into BLAS and the Intel MKL but they look like vast overkill.

TIA.
