Least squares approximation of a function
From MaRDI portal
The approximation of a function \(f\) by the tangent line through a point \((c,f(c))\) is compared to the best linear least squares approximation of \(f\) over an interval which contains the point \(c\). For \(f(x)= \sin x\), \(c=0\) and \(c={\pi\over 6}\) and for \(f(x)= x^{1/3}\), \(c=64\) and \(c=125\) it is shown numerically that the approximation of \(f\) by the best linear function in the sense of least squares is better than by the tangent line, in points \(x\) that are relatively far away from \(c\).
