So i'm building some sort of charts in C#, i'm basically reverse-engineering what I need from TradingView functions which uses PineScript.
I'm Kind of stuck with this one "LINREG" because there is no deep explanation on what's being calculated whitin the function: https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-reference/v1/#fun_linreg
interface: linreg(source, length, offset) → series
formula: linreg = intercept + slope * (length - 1 - offset)
Does somebody has the logic behind this 3rd bullet?, not necessary in C# code, to understand the logic will be enought for me.
Thanks in advance.

LINREG short for linear regression, a statistical tool you may know about already.
