method of least squares
61Newton's method — In numerical analysis, Newton s method (also known as the Newton–Raphson method), named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a method for finding successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real valued function. The… …
62Generalized Gauss–Newton method — The generalized Gauss–Newton method is a generalization of the least squares method originally described by Carl Friedrich Gauss and of Newton s method due to Isaac Newton to the case of constrained nonlinear least squares problems …
63Conjugate gradient method — A comparison of the convergence of gradient descent with optimal step size (in green) and conjugate vector (in red) for minimizing a quadratic function associated with a given linear system. Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic,… …
64Extended Huckel method — The extended Hückel method is a semiempirical quantum chemistry method, developed by Roald Hoffmann since 1963. [Hoffmann, R. An Extended Hückel Theory. I. Hydrocarbons. J. Chem. Phys 1963, 39 , 1397 1412. doi|10.1063/1.1734456] It is based on… …
65Information bottleneck method — The information bottleneck method is a technique introduced by Tishby et al [1] for finding the best tradeoff between accuracy and complexity (compression) when summarizing (e.g. clustering) a random variable X, given a joint probability… …
66Lucas–Kanade method — In computer vision, the Lucas–Kanade method is a two frame differential method for optical flow estimation developed by Bruce D. Lucas and Takeo KanadeOptical flow algorithms estimate the deformations between two image frames. The basic… …
67Analytic element method — The analytic element method (AEM) is a numerical method used for the solution of partial differential equations. It was initially developed by O.D.L. Strack at the University of Minnesota. It is similar in nature to the boundary element method… …
68Scattergraph Method — A visual technique for separating the fixed and variable elements of a semi variable expense (also called a mixed expense) in order to estimate and budget for future costs. A scattergraph is made up of a horizontal x axis that represents… …
69Fermat's factorization method — is based on the representation of an odd integer as the difference of two squares: :N = a^2 b^2. That difference is algebraically factorable as (a+b)(a b); if neither factor equals one, it is a proper factorization of N .Each odd number has such… …
70Marching squares — is a computer graphics algorithm that generates contours for a two dimensional scalar field (rectangular array of individual numerical values). A similar method can be used to contour 2D triangle meshes. The contours can be of two kinds: Isolines …
