1 CURVE FITTIG LEAST SQUARE LIE Consider the class of linear function of the form f ( x) B...() In previous chapter we saw how to construct a polnomial that passes through a set of points. If all numerical values x, are nown to several significant digits of accurac, then the polnomial interpolation can be used successfull ; other wise it can not. For values x,, it realize that the true value f( x ) satisfies f ( x ) e.() where e is the measurement error How do find the best approximation of the form () that goes near (not alwas through) the points? To answer this question we need to discuss the errors e f ( x ) () There are several norms that can be used with the residuals in () to measure how far the curve f ( x) lies from the data max MAXIMUM ERROR : E ( f ) max f ( x ) e...() AVERAGE ERROR : E ( f ) f ( x ) e...(5) K K K ROOT MEA SQUARE ERROR ( RMS): E ( f ) f ( x ) e K...(6)

2 Example Compare the maximum error, average error and RMS error for the linear approximation f ( x) 8.6.6x to the data points (-,), (,9), (,7), (,5), (,), (,), (5,) and (6,-). x f ( x) 8.6.6x e f ( x ) e =8 MAXIMUM ERROR : E ( f ) max.,.,.,.,.8,.6,.8 AVERAGE ERROR : E ( f ) e (.6).5 8 K K 8 ROOT MEA SQUARE ERROR ( RMS): E ( f ) e (.).8 Best fitting line is found b minimizing one of the quantities in equation () through (6). Hence there are three best fitting lines that we could find. The third norm E ( f ) is the traditional choice because it is much easier to minimize computationall.

( x, ) ( x, ) ( x, ) ( x, ) The quantit E ( f ) will be minimum if and onl if the quantit ( E ( f )) ( B) is minimum Theorem Suppose that x, are points. The coefficients of the least square line B are the solution of the following linear sstem x A x B x x A B...(7)

4 Proof Where E( A, B) B The minimum value of E( A, B ) is determined b setting the partial derivatives E( A, B) E( A, B) and equal to zero and solving these equation for A and B. A B E( A, B) A B x Bx x ( ) ( )...(8) E( A, B) ( B ) ( Bx )...(9) B from (8) and (9) x A x B x x A B
