Learn how the Least Squares Criterion determines the line of best fit for data analysis, enhancing predictive accuracy in finance, economics, and investing.

We discuss properties of some data-analytic methods which are intimately related to each other: alternating least squares (ALS), correspondence analysis and more recently Breiman and Friedman's ACE ...

In this paper we present an algorithm to enhance the accuracy of the estimation of the parameters of linear stroke segments in a two-dimensional printed character image. The algorithm achieves high ...

A statistical technique for fitting a curve to a set of data points. One of the variables is transformed by taking its logarithm, and then a straight line is fitted to the transformed set of data ...

ABSTRACT There are a variety of multivariate statistical methods for analyzing the relations between two datasets. Two commonly used methods are canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and maximum ...
