Linear and Nonlinear Models

Book excerpt: This monograph contains a thorough treatment of methods for solving over- and underdetermined systems of equations, e.g. the minimum norm solution method with respect to weighted norms. The considered equations can be nonlinear or linear, and deterministic models as well as probabilistic ones are considered. An extensive appendix provides all necessary prerequisites like matrix algebra, matrix analysis and Lagrange multipliers, and a long list of references is also included.
