A measure of the quality of the fit of the linear estimate to the data is the mean squared error (MSE) or the root mean squared error (RMSE)  Observing the plot of these data points shown in Figure 10.1, it can be seen that a good estimate of a line passing through the points is 7 = 20x. The script used to generate this plot:  where N is the number of measured data values (xz, y,), with estimated values %, = 20x;,. Note that the units of MSE are the square of the units of the measured quantity y,. The units of RMSE are the same as those of the measured quantity.
