Least Squares Problems
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The method of least squares is a standard approach to the approximate solution of overdetermined systems, i.e., more equations than unknowns.
The most important application is in data fitting
The least-squares method was first described by Carl Friedrich Gauss around 1794
Legendre was the first to publish the method, however.

If we have 21 data points we can find a unique polynomial interpolant to these points by solving:

Without changing the data points we can do better by reducing the degree of the polynomial
In the previous example: Polynomial of degree 8:

Is called the Pseudoinverse, and
bAx Is the least squares solution

Four Algorithms
1. Find the Pseudoinverse
2. Solve the Normal Equation (A full rank):
TT AAAA 1)(
Then calculate bAx
Requires A to have full rank
AAT Is positive definite and we use the Cholesky factorization
