  2. Polynomial regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_regression

    Although polynomial regression is technically a special case of multiple linear regression, the interpretation of a fitted polynomial regression model requires a somewhat different perspective. It is often difficult to interpret the individual coefficients in a polynomial regression fit, since the underlying monomials can be highly correlated.

  3. Linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_least_squares

    A generalization of the LTF is the Quadratic Template Fit, which assumes a second order regression of the model, requires predictions for at least + distinct values β, and it finds the best estimator using Newton's method.

  4. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Fitting of a noisy curve by an asymmetrical peak model, with an iterative process (Gauss–Newton algorithm with variable damping factor α).Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints.

  5. Least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares

    The result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function Conic fitting a set of points using least-squares approximation. In regression analysis, least squares is a parameter estimation method based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals (a residual being the difference between an observed value and the fitted value provided by a model) made in the results of each ...

  6. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    Regression models predict a value of the Y variable given known values of the X variables. Prediction within the range of values in the dataset used for model-fitting is known informally as interpolation. Prediction outside this range of the data is known as extrapolation. Performing extrapolation relies strongly on the regression assumptions.

  7. Autoregressive moving-average model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoregressive_moving...

    The model is usually denoted ARMA(p, q), where p is the order of AR and q is the order of MA. The general ARMA model was described in the 1951 thesis of Peter Whittle , Hypothesis testing in time series analysis , and it was popularized in the 1970 book by George E. P. Box and Gwilym Jenkins .

  8. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law.Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R 2 of the regression is relatively high.. In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R 2 or r 2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).

  9. Non-linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_least_squares

    Non-linear least squares is the form of least squares analysis used to fit a set of m observations with a model that is non-linear in n unknown parameters (m ≥ n). It is used in some forms of nonlinear regression. The basis of the method is to approximate the model by a linear one and to refine the parameters by successive iterations.
