The Least Squares Solution
The Least Squares Approximation is a examples-intensive concept. However, it can be solved using the following concise formulas:
for system
- $ A\bold{x}=\bold{b}, $
- $ {A^T(A\bold\hat{x} - \bold{b})} = 0, $
which is equivalent to
- $ {A^TA\bold\hat{x}} = A^{T}\bold{b}. $
NOTE:
Thorough examples are available in the MA265 textbook, Webassign problems, and Past Exam Archive. Most problems only deal with linear and parabolic fits.
