least square error for a regression [message #41043]

Hello,
I am fitting a function of the form
ASin(wt + theta) + constant to a set of points. Instead of a readymade
fitting routine from IDL (to avoid any potential problems with small numbers
later), I use the three linear equations to minimize the least square error,
then use an IDL function to solve the matrix equation. Could someone suggest
a simple way to calculate the least squares error and goodness of fit using
some higher level IDL functions ?
Thanks in advance
