Mean is the sum of several values of the same type (x1, x2,..., xN ) divided by the number of values.
Mean = (x1 + x2 + ... xN ) /N
The Least square method is used when doing a regression of a cloud of point { (x1,y1), (x2,y2) etc. } by a function (linear, parabolic hyperbolic etc.). With this special algorithm we get the closest function f (x) to approximated the cloud of point.
f(x, Beta) ~ y
Beta = (XTX)-1XT Y = coefficients of the regression
The points must be in 2 dimensions, because the methods needs to derivate the function f.
I think that the least square mean is not the proper term because you have a function f ... What is the mean of f (x) = a *x + b ??? See.

What is the difference between the sample mean and the population mean known as?
Sampling bias.
As the sample size increase the difference between the sample mean and the population mean approaches what?
Zero
What is difference between mean and medium?
a mean is the average the medium is the number in the midle of the ordered numbers
What does the acronym OLS mean in the field of statistics?
The acronym OLS as pertaining to the field of statistics stands for Ordinary Least Squares, the standard linear regression procedure. This is the standard approach to overdetermined systems.
What statistical concept is used to explain the natural difference that exists between a sample mean and corresponding population mean?
Random error.
How is standard deviation found?
Formally, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance. The variance is the mean of the squares of the difference between each observation and their mean value. An easier to remember form for variance is: the mean of the squares minus the square of the mean.
What does least squares mean?
Compute to the smallest fraction, reduce to the least number
What is The line that minimizes the sum of the squared errors?
least mean squares line
How do you factorise 9 minus y squared?
1st of all, if you mean 9-y2 its simply a difference between two squares formula (3-y) (3+y)
Why is quality in healtcare important?
It could mean the difference between life and death and at least the restoration of health of the body and mind
Factor the following x2 9?
-7
What is quantile regression?
Quantile regression is considered a natural extension of ordinary least squares. Instead of estimating the mean of the regressand for a given set of regressors, and instead of minimizing sum of squares, it estimates different values of the regressand across its distribution, and minimizes instead the absolute distances between observations.
Does subtract mean difference?
It doesn't actually mean difference, but it can be used to get the difference between values. 11 subtract 4 is 7, and 7 is the difference between 4 and 11.
What does PLS in the title mean?
PLS can stand for a variety of things depending on the context. It can mean "Please," "Partial Least Squares" in statistics, or "Public Land Survey."
What is the difference between geometric mean and arithmetic mean?
The difference between arithmetic and geometric mean you can find in the following link: "Calculation of the geometric mean of two numbers".
Is there a difference between mean and not nice?
No.
What is the solution of (y-2) (y2)?
If you mean: (y-2)(y+2) then it is y^2 -4 which is the difference of two squares
