The theory of least squares and its application to adjustment of survey measurements is well
known to every geodesist. The invention of the method is generally attributed to Carl …

Physical systems are designed to accomplish well-defined tasks. The importance of
navigation for aircraft and orbit determination for satellites is fundamental. In order to …

Methods of decomposition are compared and analyzed to display their basic principles and
properties, and to give more or less general rules for application of the particular method to a …

INTRODUCTION. The method has for its object the finding of the best or most probable …

Abstract In a Dynamic Linear Model, the weighted least-squares approach is known to yield
the Kalman filter equations. On the other hand, it is also known that any least-squares …

At last a book that hopefully will take the mystery and drudgery out of the g–h,–, g–h–k,––
and Kalman filters and makes them a joy. Many books written in the past on this subject …

AFTER a careful examination of existing books, the University of Pennsylvania has failed to
find a satisfactory text from which to teach its civil engineering students the fundamental …

The preparation of this volume was undertaken with the view of presenting in as simple and
concise a manner as possible the fundamental principles of the Method of Least Squares …

Publisher Summary The technique that Gauss suggested for obtaining the approximations
(or estimates) of the unknown quantities has come to be known as the method of least …

In this volume the author has attempted to produce a textbook on Geodesy adapted to a
course of moderate length. The material has not been limited to what could be actually …
