fitting by least squares
1Least-squares spectral analysis — (LSSA) is a method of estimating a frequency spectrum, based on a least squares fit of sinusoids to data samples, similar to Fourier analysis. [cite book | title = Variable Stars As Essential Astrophysical Tools | author = Cafer Ibanoglu |… …
2Least 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… …
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 — Die Methode der kleinsten Quadrate (bezeichnender auch: der kleinsten Fehlerquadrate; englisch: Least Squares Method) ist das mathematische Standardverfahren zur Ausgleichungsrechnung. Es ist eine Wolke aus Datenpunkten gegeben, die physikalische …
5least 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… …
6Least Squares — A statistical method used to determine a line of best fit by minimizing the sum of squares created by a mathematical function. A square is determined by squaring the distance between a data point and the regression line. The least squares… …
7least 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… …
8Non-linear least squares — is the form of least squares analysis which is used to fit a set of m observations with a model that is non linear in n unknown parameters (m > n). It is used in some forms of non linear regression. The basis of the method is to… …

10least 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 …
