Least squares fitting is in general not useful for high-dimensional linear models, in which the number of predictors is of the same or even larger order of magnitude than the number of samples. Theory developed in recent years has coined a…
The least squares fit to a straight line, when both variables are affected by all equal uncorrelated errors, leads to very simple results for both the estimated parameters and their standard errors, of widespread applicability. In this…
