2. Linear least squares - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_least_squares

   Linear least squares (LLS) is the least squares approximation of linear functions to data. It is a set of formulations for solving statistical problems involved in linear regression , including variants for ordinary (unweighted), weighted , and generalized (correlated) residuals .

3. Simple linear regression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

   Deming regression (total least squares) also finds a line that fits a set of two-dimensional sample points, but (unlike ordinary least squares, least absolute deviations, and median slope regression) it is not really an instance of simple linear regression, because it does not separate the coordinates into one dependent and one independent ...

4. Anscombe's quartet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anscombe's_quartet

   The calculated regression is offset by the one outlier, which exerts enough influence to lower the correlation coefficient from 1 to 0.816. Finally, the fourth graph (bottom right) shows an example when one high-leverage point is enough to produce a high correlation coefficient, even though the other data points do not indicate any relationship ...

5. Ordinary least squares - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_least_squares

   In statistics, ordinary least squares (OLS) is a type of linear least squares method for choosing the unknown parameters in a linear regression model (with fixed level-one [clarification needed] effects of a linear function of a set of explanatory variables) by the principle of least squares: minimizing the sum of the squares of the differences between the observed dependent variable (values ...

6. Linear regression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression

   The data sets in the Anscombe's quartet are designed to have approximately the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but are graphically very different. This illustrates the pitfalls of relying solely on a fitted model to understand the relationship between variables.

7. 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 ...

8. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

   The earliest regression form was seen in Isaac Newton's work in 1700 while studying equinoxes, being credited with introducing "an embryonic linear aggression analysis" as "Not only did he perform the averaging of a set of data, 50 years before Tobias Mayer, but summing the residuals to zero he forced the regression line to pass through the ...
