  3. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    The algorithm performs summation with two accumulators: sum holds the sum, and c accumulates the parts not assimilated into sum, to nudge the low-order part of sum the next time around. Thus the summation proceeds with "guard digits" in c , which is better than not having any, but is not as good as performing the calculations with double the ...

  4. Lack-of-fit sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lack-of-fit_sum_of_squares

    To have a lack-of-fit sum of squares that differs from the residual sum of squares, one must observe more than one y-value for each of one or more of the x-values. One then partitions the "sum of squares due to error", i.e., the sum of squares of residuals, into two components:

  5. Residual sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_sum_of_squares

    The general regression model with n observations and k explanators, the first of which is a constant unit vector whose coefficient is the regression intercept, is = + where y is an n × 1 vector of dependent variable observations, each column of the n × k matrix X is a vector of observations on one of the k explanators, is a k × 1 vector of true coefficients, and e is an n× 1 vector of the ...

  6. Proofs involving ordinary least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_involving_ordinary...

    Using matrix notation, the sum of squared residuals is given by S ( β ) = ( y − X β ) T ( y − X β ) . {\displaystyle S(\beta )=(y-X\beta )^{T}(y-X\beta ).} Since this is a quadratic expression, the vector which gives the global minimum may be found via matrix calculus by differentiating with respect to the vector β {\displaystyle \beta ...

  7. Sum-of-squares optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum-of-Squares_Optimization

    A sum-of-squares optimization program is an optimization problem with a linear cost function and a particular type of constraint on the decision variables. These constraints are of the form that when the decision variables are used as coefficients in certain polynomials , those polynomials should have the polynomial SOS property.

  8. Low-rank approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-rank_approximation

    In mathematics, low-rank approximation refers to the process of approximating a given matrix by a matrix of lower rank. More precisely, it is a minimization problem, in which the cost function measures the fit between a given matrix (the data) and an approximating matrix (the optimization variable), subject to a constraint that the approximating matrix has reduced rank.

  9. Divisor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisor_function

    When z is 1, the function is called the sigma function or sum-of-divisors function, [1] [3] and the subscript is often omitted, so σ(n) is the same as σ 1 (n) (OEIS: A000203). The aliquot sum s ( n ) of n is the sum of the proper divisors (that is, the divisors excluding n itself, OEIS : A001065 ), and equals σ 1 ( n ) − n ; the aliquot ...
