9.20 LEAST-SQUARES ESTIMATION
Assume that information about the parameter vector
is obtained via the following measurement model:
(9.309)
where Y is a random variable, a is a known vector, and V is an unobservable additive noise random variable. This is a generalization of the simpler model Y = X+V discussed previously where X is a random variable. If
happens to be a random vector, its distribution will not be taken into account in least-squares (LS) estimation. Assume there are N iid samples
such that
where
and
Usually, the number of samples far exceeds the number of parameters, that is,
so that a is a tall narrow matrix. Let be an estimate of the measurements based ...
