q |
We have N paired data point (xi,
yi)
|
|
|
that we want to approximate their
|
|
|
relationship with a linear regression:
|
|
q |
The errors produced by this linear
|
|
|
approximation can be estimated as:
|
|
|
q |
The least square linear fit chooses
|
|
|
coefficients a and b to produce a
|
|
|
minimum value of the error Q.
