Some facts#

  • Approximation of a function consists in finding a function formula that best matches to a set of points e.g. obtained as measurement data.
  • The least squares method is one of the methods for finding such a function.
  • The least squares method is the optimization method. As a result we get function that the sum of squares of deviations from the measured data is the smallest. Mathematically, we can write it as follows:
    i=1n[yif(xi)]2=min.\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left[y_i - f(x_i)\right]^2 = min.
    where:
    • (xi,yi)(x_i, y_i) - coordinations of the i-th measurement point, these are points that we know,
    • f(x)f(x) - the function we are searching for, we want this function to best match to the measurement points,
    • nn - number of measurement points.
  • Depending on used function we say about:
  • The least squares method allow us to find coefficients for above functions (a, b, etc.) to fits best to measurement data.
