Least Squares, Method Of Summary
399 words, approx. 1 pages
The method of least squares is an important statistical tool used to obtain the best values, those containing the "least" errors, of unknown quantities. Commonly used by engineers, business managers, government officials, market analysts and others in...

Least Squares Method
104 words, approx. 1 pages
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...

Least Squares : Environmental Science and Engineering
40 words, approx. 1 pages
A procedure for fitting a linear equation to an array of data by minimizing the sum of the squares of the deviations of individual points from the line of best fit. The derived expression is the regression...
