Subject: Add Least Squares slope function
X-Git-Tag: colorado.1.0~7
X-Git-Url: https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d7d5efb6fe647e117f54ce0923e4966014eaeb9a;p=storperf.git

Add Least Squares slope function

Added a math module in utilities that contains a slope function
able to compute the slope of the best Least Squares curve fit
given a series of [x,y] values.

Implemented a test harness for this math module in the tests/utilities
section.
