Fundamentals of the least squares method and generalizations of this method (mean quadratic collocation and Kalman filtration) are dealt with to analyze measured experimental data especially in astronomy and cosmical geodesy. Essential types of parametric and stochastic models of measured data, convenient algorithms for optimal evaluation of the parameters of these models in the involved matrix form are discussed. Problems of global treatment of data measured on global grids of stations are studied. Examples of the application of the generalized least squares method in processing of radio interference observations with extremely long bases, in the analysis of Earth rotation are given. Stochastic analysis in astronomy is explained. The book is aimed for the use of students and scientists in astronomy, celestial mechanics, geodesy, and geophysics.
