user defined aggregate with multiple arguments

[Bill Eaton <wpeaton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a need to create some statistical functions in PostgreSQL that 
will take multiple "column" arguments and return multiple values.

A good example would be a least squares fit of a line through a set of 
(x,y) points. In this case, I would want the function to accept two 
"columns" of data (i.e. x data and y data) as arguments and return two 
parameters: the slope and intercept of a line.

The slope is given by 
  [sum(x^2)*sum(y) - sum(x)*sum*x*y)] / [M*sum(x^2) -(sum(x))^2]
It's not *that* complicated, but it's not that easy to remember either. 
And if you're already doing a lot of work to tease out the x and y 
points from various tables, it simplifies your query if you can do a 
function call.

I can't tell from what have read about user defined functions and user 
defined aggregates whether this kind of function is possible.
