A Least - Squares Straight - Line Fitting Algorithm with Automatic Error Determination
نویسنده
چکیده
We demonstrate a new generalized least-squares fitting method which can be used to estimate the slope of the best-fitting straight line that results when two separate data sets which are expected to be linearly correlated are subject to different uncertainties in their measurements. The algorithm determines not only the optimum slope, but also produces estimates of the intrinsic errors associated with each data set. It requires almost no initial information about the errors in each data set.

On the Cost of Approximating and Recogni?ing a Noise Perturbed Straicht Line or a Ouadfatic Curve Segment in the Plane
Approximation of noisy data in the plane by straight lines or elliptic: or single-branch hyperbolic curve segments arises in pattern recogniticn, data compaction, and other problems. A number of questions concerning the efficient search fo_ and approximation of data by such curves are examined. Fecursive least-squares linear curve-fitting is used, and ellipses and hyperbolas are parameterized a...
متن کاملLeast Square Based Automatic Threshold Selection for Polygonal Approximation of Digital Curves
Polygonal approximation is a very useful and common representation of digital curves. This application depends on a parameter, which is the threshold value. Various simple piecewise linear curve fitting procedures called the iterative endpoint fit algorithm are available in the literature. The choice of threshold value for convergence of this type of algorithm is a critical point. In this pape...
متن کاملDetermination of the best-fitting reference orbit for a LEO satellite using the Lagrange coefficients
Linearization of the nonlinear equations and iterative solution is the most well-known scheme in many engineering problems. For geodetic applications of the LEO satellites, e.g. the Earth’s gravity field recovery, one needs to provide an initial guess of the satellite location or the so-called reference orbit. Numerical integration can be utilized for generating the reference orbit if a satelli...
متن کاملDetermination of 137Ba Isotope Abundances in Water Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma-optical Emission Spectrometry Combined with Least-squares Support Vector Machine Regression
A simple and rapid method for the determination of 137Ba isotope abundances in water samples by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) coupled with least-squares support vector machine regression (LS-SVM) is reported. By evaluation of emission lines of barium, it was found that the emission line at 493.408 nm provides the best results for the determination...
متن کاملA New Fast and Robust Circle Extraction Algorithm
This paper presents a new algorithm that is capable of extracting circles from complicated and heavily corrupted images. The algorithm uses a least-squares fitting algorithm for arc segments. The arcs are segmented by using the short straight lines which are extracted by a fast line extraction algorithm. The arc segments are used to yield accurate circle parameters. Tests performed on synthetic...
