  2. Polynomial regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_regression

    Although polynomial regression fits a nonlinear model to the data, as a statistical estimation problem it is linear, in the sense that the regression function E(y | x) is linear in the unknown parameters that are estimated from the data. For this reason, polynomial regression is considered to be a special case of multiple linear regression. [1]

  3. Group method of data handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_method_of_data_handling

    GMDH is used in such fields as data mining, knowledge discovery, prediction, complex systems modeling, optimization and pattern recognition. [1] GMDH algorithms are characterized by inductive procedure that performs sorting-out of gradually complicated polynomial models and selecting the best solution by means of the external criterion.

  4. Non-linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_least_squares

    Consider a set of data points, (,), (,), …, (,), and a curve (model function) ^ = (,), that in addition to the variable also depends on parameters, = (,, …,), with . It is desired to find the vector of parameters such that the curve fits best the given data in the least squares sense, that is, the sum of squares = = is minimized, where the residuals (in-sample prediction errors) r i are ...

  5. Linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_least_squares

    Optimal instruments regression is an extension of classical IV regression to the situation where E[ε i | z i] = 0. Total least squares (TLS) [6] is an approach to least squares estimation of the linear regression model that treats the covariates and response variable in a more geometrically symmetric manner than OLS. It is one approach to ...

  6. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians. [1]

  7. Partial least squares regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_least_squares...

    Partial least squares (PLS) regression is a statistical method that bears some relation to principal components regression and is a reduced rank regression [1]; instead of finding hyperplanes of maximum variance between the response and independent variables, it finds a linear regression model by projecting the predicted variables and the observable variables to a new space of maximum ...

  8. Weighted least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_least_squares

    Weighted least squares (WLS), also known as weighted linear regression, [1] [2] is a generalization of ordinary least squares and linear regression in which knowledge of the unequal variance of observations (heteroscedasticity) is incorporated into the regression.

  9. Regression validation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_validation

    On the other hand, if non-random structure is evident in the residuals, it is a clear sign that the model fits the data poorly. The next section details the types of plots to use to test different aspects of a model and gives the correct interpretations of different results that could be observed for each type of plot.
