Linear Least Squares Suppose we are given a set of data points {(xi ‚ fi )}‚ i = 1‚ . . . ‚ n. These could be measurements from an experiment or obtained simply by evaluating a function at some points. You have seen that we can interpolate these points‚ i.e.‚ either find a polynomial of degree ≤ (n − 1) which passes through all n points or we can use a continuous piecewise interpolant of the data which is usually a better approach. How‚ it might be the case that we know that these data points should
