Abstract
Least squares estimation, a regression
technique based on minimisation of residuals, has
been invaluable in bringing the best fit solutions to
parameters in science and engineering. However, in
dynamic environments such as in Geomatic
Engineering, formation of these equations can be
very challenging. And these constraints are ported
and apparent in most program models, requiring
users at ease with the subject matter. This paper
reviews the methods of least squares approximation
and examines a one-step automated approach,
through the instrumentality of frames, object
oriented programming.
