(root of sum of squares)
1Sum of squares — is a concept that permeates much of inferential statistics and descriptive statistics. More properly, it is the sum of the squared deviations . Mathematically, it is an unscaled, or unadjusted measure of dispersion (also called variability). When …
2root mean square — Math. the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the numbers in a given set of numbers. Abbr.: rms [1890 95] * * * root mean square noun The square root of the sum of the squares of a set of quantities divided by the total number of …
3Ordinary 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… …
4Linear least squares/Proposed — Linear least squares is an important computational problem, that arises primarily in applications when it is desired to fit a linear mathematical model to observations obtained from experiments. Mathematically, it can be stated as the problem of… …
5Least squares — The method of least squares is a standard approach to the approximate solution of overdetermined systems, i.e., sets of equations in which there are more equations than unknowns. Least squares means that the overall solution minimizes the sum of… …
6Linear least squares (mathematics) — This article is about the mathematics that underlie curve fitting using linear least squares. For statistical regression analysis using least squares, see linear regression. For linear regression on a single variable, see simple linear regression …
7Total 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… …
8Linear least squares — is an important computational problem, that arises primarily in applications when it is desired to fit a linear mathematical model to measurements obtained from experiments. The goals of linear least squares are to extract predictions from the… …
9Ramanujan's sum — This article is not about Ramanujan summation. In number theory, a branch of mathematics, Ramanujan s sum, usually denoted c q ( n ), is a function of two positive integer variables q and n defined by the formula:c q(n)=sum {a=1atop… …
10Proofs of Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares — Fermat s theorem on sums of two squares asserts that an odd prime number p can be expressed as: p = x^2 + y^2with integer x and y if and only if p is congruent to 1 (mod 4). The statement was announced by Fermat in 1640, but he supplied no proof …
