values of b. 0 and b 1 is to use your spreadsheet to conduct a systematic search, always looking for new b 0 ’s and b 1 ’s which cause SSE to decrease.. Another way is to use a macro (Solver) which will conduct the search for you. Still another way is to use calculus. In this case, there are two unknowns, so we compute ∂SSE ∂ b 0 and ∂SSE ∂ b 1 . ................
