Solving linear models
x y The two-parameter linear model
Linear / statistically linear Linear model = fit a straight line Statistically linear = linear in the parameters Ex.
Residual term x y
modelling methods minimize least square sum sum of residuals minmax
Solving least square problems Ex. Derivation of the object function QR decomposition of E Singular value decomposition (SVD) of E Nonnegative least square algorithm (NNLS)
Singular value decomposition E=USV, U and V are orthogonal and S is a diagonal matrix We get x=Vp Approximately as fast as e. g. NNLS
