Doing Least Squares: Perspectives from Gauss and Yule

John Aldrich

International Statistical Review, 1998, vol. 66, issue 1, 61-81

Abstract: Gauss introduced a procedure for calculating least squares estimates and their precisions. Yule introduced a new system of notation adapted to correlation analysis. This paper describes these formalisms and compares them with the matrix and vector space formalisms used in modern regression analysis. Gauss a préentê une mêthode pour obtenir les estimations de la méthode des moindres et leurs précisions. Youle a prèsenté un nouveau système de la notation adaptéâ l'analyse de la corrélation. Cette étude décrit ces notations et les compare avec les notations du calcul catricien et de l'espace vectoriel que on emploie en l'analyse moderne de la régression.
