One of the formulas supported by Microsoft Excel is the sum of squares equation. To calculate the sum of squares using Microsoft Excel, you need to input a specific formula into the formula bar of the ...

This paper gives a geometric illustration of some of the commonest identities in the algebra of the sum of squares. The method is essentially the construction of squares of the various numbers and ...

We propose a new method for estimation in linear models. The `lasso' minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients being less than a constant.
