method (also principle) of least squares
method (also principle) of least squares n. a method of finding an equation that best fits some experimental or observed data, in which the sum of the squares of the differences between the data and the corresponding values of the equation are minimized. [In method of least squares n. after French méthode des moindres carrés ( A.-M. Legendre Nouvelles Méthodes pour la Détermination des Orbites des Comètes (1805) 74).]

1819 Philos. Mag. 53 435 The only use to which two or three results thus obtained by one observer can be legitimately applied, is to make them parts of a series obtained by different persons in different places, and reduce the whole to computation by the ‘method of least squares’.

b. method (also principle) of least squares [translating French méthode des moindres quarrés (A.-M. Legendre Nouvelles Méthodes pour la Détermination des Orbites des Comètes (1806) 74)] , the technique of estimating a quantity, fitting a graph to a set of experimental values, etc., so as to minimize the sum of the squares of the differences between the observed data and their estimated true values; so least square(s) attributive, denoting estimates, regression lines, etc., obtained by this method, the method itself, and the processes which it involves.
