Notion - (Best approximation|Closest|Closeness)

Card Puncher Data Processing

About

This notion of “best approximates” comes up again and again:

  • in least-squares, a fundamental data analysis technique,
  • image compression,
  • in principal component analysis, another data analysis technique, and
  • in latent semantic analysis, an information retrieval technique.
