strange discrepancy between stats command result and fitting result

Show all headers | View raw

I am puzzled by the following discrepancy between a stats command result and the result which I have from normal Gnuplot fitting:

This is my Gnuplot batch-file
datafile='scallogmet.dat'
f(x)=a*log10(x)+b
a=-1.06
b=-4.78
fit [3e-3:1] f(x) datafile using ($1):($2) via a,b
stats [3e-3:1] datafile using (log10($1)):($2)

This is the content of scallogmet.dat:
0.001 -0.4421
0.002 -1.4743
0.003 -1.7844
0.004 -1.9640
0.005 -2.102
0.01 -2.483
0.02 -2.837
0.03 -3.034
0.04 -3.173
0.05 -3.28
0.1 -3.614
0.2 -3.96
0.3 -4.143
0.5 -4.408
1 -4.8
2 -5.294
3 -5.655
4 -5.96
5 -6.244
6 -6.509
7 -6.755
8 -7
9 -7.232
10 -7.46

The Gnuplot fitting gives me y=ax+b, with the correct a=-1.16816 and b=-4.78604
But the stats-command gives:  y = -3.104 x - 4.194
Why do U get the wrong result with stats?
thanks in advance
