Numerical Linear Approximation in C

Illustrating the relevance of linear approximation in a variety of fields, Numerical Linear Approximation in C presents a unique collection of linear approximation algorithms that can be used to analyze, model, and compress discrete data. Developed by the lead author, the algorithms have been successfully applied to several engineering projects at the National Research Council of Canada.

Basing most of the algorithms on linear programming techniques, the book begins with an introductory sec...
