Excerpt from An Essay on the Theory of the Combination of Observations
This formula, combined with the equation u=u,, gives as many equations as there are quantities o, o', to be determined, and thus we obtain the most plausible values of these quantities consistent with the supposition u=u,.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to prove that the method of Least Squares, which is a mathematical theory for finding the 'best' fit to a set of measurements, does not always give the most probable result. The method is not reliable unless the number of observations is infinite, or the function expressing the relative facility of errors has a particular form. The author sets out a different approach based on the concept of 'most plausible' results, concluding that both approaches give identical results. The book makes a significant contribution to the theory behind the method of Least Squares, which is still taught as the best approach to many kinds of data analysis.
