An Appraisal of Least Squares Programs for the Electronic Computer from the Point of View of the User
从使用者角度评估电子计算机的最小二乘程序
Although there are many linear least squares programs available for use on the electronic computer, the algorithms specified in many of these programs are numerically more appropriate for the desk calculator than for the electronic computer. Routines which may be efficient for desk calculators may not be efficient for electronic computers. Since most computers carry about eight digits in the calculations, routines which do not take the problem of round-off errors and…
