overdetermined system of linear equations Xβ ≈ y, where β is the unknown. Assuming the system cannot be solved exactly (the number of equations n is much larger than

in equations (13) to (16) and equations (21) to (26), the factor cμ0 cancels out. For the amplitude coefficients we obtain: For the case of normal incidence

include inverting the matrix of the normal equations and orthogonal decomposition methods. Consider the linear equation where A ∈ R m × n {\displaystyle

Minimization of this function results in a set of normal equations, a set of simultaneous linear equations in the parameters, which are solved to yield the

Although this equation is correct and can work in many applications, it is not computationally efficient to invert the normal-equations matrix (the Gramian

the normal equations yields the vector β ^ {\displaystyle {\widehat {\boldsymbol {\beta }}}} of the optimal parameter values. The normal equations can

have fewer equations than unknowns and involve finding integers that solve all equations simultaneously. Because such systems of equations define algebraic
