JIRA	SUMMARY	DESCRIPTION	DETAILS
ORG-19321	Better support of doing fitting or peak analysis (including related gadgets) on Y offset plot.	Better support of doing fitting or peak analysis on Y offset plot	In the past, if user plot stacked lines with Y offset and then do fitting, the fitted curves are not stacked and stay with original plot. Improved in Origin 2019b.
ORG-19777	Improve Statistics results for some special NLFit types	Improve Statistics results for some special NLFit types	*For Nonlinear Multiple Dependent Variables Fitting, ANOVA* table is improved. Before 2019b, ANOVA table in the report only shows the results for the first dataset(Dataset B in the following case). Now the result is improved and similar to Global Fit's result, DF and TSS should be total data. For the Nonlinear Fitting using Orthogonal Distance Regression, R-Square quantity is improved.** Before 2019b, R-Squared value may always be 1 though the ODR fit is normal. It is caused by the inappropriate TSS. Now the R-Square should be more accurate as TSS calculation is improved as: TSS = sum( (y - ymean)^2) + sum( (x - xmean)^2) R^2 = 1 - RSS/TSS where TSS is the total sum of square, and RSS is the residual sum of square.
