+# Linear Regression Trend Calculator [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/zero-one-software/linear_regression_trend.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/zero-one-software/linear_regression_trend)
+
+This is a simple gem to help calculate linear regression trendlines for a given list of samples.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'linear_regression_trend'
+```
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+    $ gem install linear_regression_trend
+
+## Usage
+
+```ruby
+my_array_of_samples = [10, 14, 18, 22, 26]
+trender = LinearRegressionTrend::Calculator.new(my_array_of_samples)
+
+trended_samples = trender.trend     # => [array of trend points]
+trend_slope     = trender.slope     # => 4
+trend_intercept = trender.intercept # => 6
+```
+
+## Development
+
+Check out the tests in the /spec dir, and also install iRuby notebook, and take a look at the live documentation in /doc.
+
+## Contributing
+
+1. Fork it ( https://github.com/zero-one-software/linear_regression_trend/fork )
+2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`)
+3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add some feature'`)
+4. Push to the branch (`git push origin my-new-feature`)
+5. Add some tests
+6. Create a new Pull Request
+7. Do a happy dance
