calculation of the least squares line Explanation: From a Taylor-Hobson glossary http://www.taylor-hobson.com/glossary.asp?selected=L "A least squares line is a line through a profile such that the sum of the squares of the deviations of the profile from the mean line are at a minimum. The most common application of a least squares mean line is to "level" the measured profile by calculation rather than mechanical means." So now you know, Tony :-) (BTW, me too!) |
