Least squares method is considered one of the best and common methods of adjustment computations when we have redundant observations or an overdetermined system of equations. It gives the trend line of best fit to a time series data. The model to be textured is decomposed into charts homeomorphic to discs, each chart is parameterized, and the unfolded. The use of linear regression, or least squares method, is the most accurate method in segregating total costs into fixed and variable components. The method of least squares is a standard approach in regression analysis to approximate the solution of overdetermined systems sets of equations in which there are more equations than unknowns by minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals made in the results of every single equation the most important application is in data fitting. Itissupposedthat x isan independent orpredictorvariablewhichisknownexactly, while y is a dependent or response variable. This section emphasizes bx the least squares solution.
