%0 Journal Article %T Linear regression methods a ccording to objective functions %A Yasemin Sisman %A Sebahattin Bektas %J Acta Montanistica Slovaca %D 2012 %I Technical University of Kosice %X The aim of the study is to explain the parameter estimation methods and the regression analysis. The simple linear regressionmethods grouped according to the objective function are introduced. The numerical solution is achieved for the simple linear regressionmethods according to objective function of Least Squares and theLeast Absolute Value adjustment methods. The success of the appliedmethods is analyzed using their objective function values. %K Regression Analysis %K parameter estimation methods %K objective f unction %K least squares method %K least absolute value method %U http://actamont.tuke.sk/pdf/2012/n3/11sisman.pdf
