  2. Line fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_fitting

    Line fitting is the process of constructing a straight line that has the best fit to a series of data points. Several methods exist, considering: Vertical distance: Simple linear regression; Resistance to outliers: Robust simple linear regression

  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. Line chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_chart

    A best-fit line chart (simple linear regression) A parody line graph (1919) by William Addison Dwiggins. Charts often include an overlaid mathematical function depicting the best-fit trend of the scattered data. This layer is referred to as a best-fit layer and the graph containing this layer is often referred to as a line graph.

  5. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Curve fitting can involve either interpolation , [ 6 ] [ 7 ] where an exact fit to the data is required, or smoothing , [ 8 ] [ 9 ] in which a "smooth ...

  6. Deming regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deming_regression

    In statistics, Deming regression, named after W. Edwards Deming, is an errors-in-variables model that tries to find the line of best fit for a two-dimensional data set. It differs from the simple linear regression in that it accounts for errors in observations on both the x- and the y- axis.

  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. Log-linear analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-linear_analysis

    This results in the likelihood ratio chi-square statistic being equal to 0, which is the best model fit. [2] Other possible models are the conditional equiprobability model and the mutual dependence model. [1] Each log-linear model can be represented as a log-linear equation.
