In this paper we formulate and solve a robust least squares problem for a system of linear equations subject to quantization error in the data matrix. Ordinary least squares fails to consider uncertainty in the operator, modeling all noise…

Linear Least Squares is a very well known technique for parameter estimation, which is used even when sub-optimal, because of its very low computational requirements and the fact that exact knowledge of the noise statistics is not required.…
