Abstract

Chapter 8.1 summarizes the mathematics of both the statistical and numerical analytical aspects of data fitting by linear and nonlinear least squares. It includes discussions of various algorithms for the solution of the least squares problem and, for the nonlinear case, of the stability and convergence properties of different procedures. Finally, it includes information on the availability of existing high-quality computer software.
