  2. Data Set • For given {xi, yi} find line through them;i.e., find a and b in y = a+bx (x6,y6) (x3,y3) (x5,y5) (x1,y1) (x7,y7) (x4,y4) (x2,y2)

  3. Least Squares • Universal formulation of fitting:minimize squares of differences betweendata and function • Example: for fitting a line, minimize Using appropriate a and b • General solution: take derivatives w.r.t. unknown variables, set equal to zero

  4. Linear Least Squares: Equal Weighting
