释义
least squares, method of

Computer
  • A method of estimating parameters in a model by minimizing the sum of squares of differences between observed and theoretical values of a variable. If

    yi,i=1,,n,
    is a sample of n observations, and μ‎i is a set of theoretical values corresponding to a set of unknown parameters, θ‎, and a set of known associated observations, xi, then the criterion to be minimized with respect to variations in θ‎ is the sum of squares,
    Σ(yiμi)2
    The values of θ‎ at which the minimum occurs are known as least squares estimates.

    The method of weighted least squares is used when each observation is associated with a weight, wi (see measures of location), and the criterion to be minimized is

    Σwi(yiμi)2
    See also likelihood, regression analysis.
