Description
How to fit a straight line through a set of points with errors in both coordinates? The 'bfsl' package implements the York regression (York, 2004 <doi:10.1119/1.1632486>). It provides unbiased estimates of the intercept, slope and standard errors for the best-fit straight line to independent points with (possibly correlated) normally distributed errors in both x and y. Other commonly used errors-in-variables methods, such as orthogonal distance regression, geometric mean regression or Deming regression are special cases of the 'bfsl' solution.
