sum of squares distances
1Ordinary least squares — This article is about the statistical properties of unweighted linear regression analysis. For more general regression analysis, see regression analysis. For linear regression on a single variable, see simple linear regression. For the… …
2Total least squares — The bivariate (Deming regression) case of Total Least Squares. The red lines show the error in both x and y. This is different from the traditional least squares method which measures error parallel to the y axis. The case shown, with deviations… …
3least squares — noun a method of fitting a curve to data points so as to minimize the sum of the squares of the distances of the points from the curve • Syn: ↑method of least squares • Topics: ↑statistics • Hypernyms: ↑statistical method, ↑statistical procedure… …
4least squares approximation — ▪ statistics in statistics, a method for estimating the true value of some quantity based on a consideration of errors (error) in observations or measurements. In particular, the line (function) that minimizes the sum of the squared… …
5Iteratively re-weighted least squares — The method of iteratively re weighted least squares (IRLS) is a numerical algorithm for minimizing any specified objective function using a standard weighted least squares method such as Gaussian elimination. Whereas techniques are widely… …
6Least Squares Method — A statistical technique to determine the line of best fit for a model. The least squares method is specified by an equation with certain parameters to observed data. This method is extensively used in regression analysis and estimation. In the… …
7method of least squares — noun a method of fitting a curve to data points so as to minimize the sum of the squares of the distances of the points from the curve • Syn: ↑least squares • Topics: ↑statistics • Hypernyms: ↑statistical method, ↑statistical procedure * * * …
8least squares method — Statistical method for finding a line or curve the line of best fit that best represents a correspondence between two measured quantities (e.g., height and weight of a group of college students). When the measurements are plotted as points on a… …
9least squares — noun plural Date: 1825 a method of fitting a curve to a set of points representing statistical data in such a way that the sum of the squares of the distances of the points from the curve is a minimum …
