Numerical stability issues of the conventional recursive least squares algorithm
The continuous use of adaptive algorithms is strongly dependent on their behavior in finite-precision environments. We study the nonlinear round-off error accumulation system of the conventional RLS algorithm and we derive bounds for the relative precision of the computations and the accumulated round-off error, which guarantee the numerical stability of the finite-precision implementation of t...
متن کاملWeighted Least Squares and Adaptive Least Squares: Further Empirical Evidence
This paper compares ordinary least squares (OLS), weighted least squares (WLS), and adaptive least squares (ALS) by means of a Monte Carlo study and an application to two empirical data sets. Overall, ALS emerges as the winner: It achieves most or even all of the efficiency gains of WLS over OLS when WLS outperforms OLS, but it only has very limited downside risk compared to OLS when OLS outper...
متن کاملHypercube estimators: Penalized least squares, submodel selection, and numerical stability
Hypercube estimators for the mean vector in a general linear model include algebraic equivalents to penalized least squares estimatorswith quadratic penalties and to submodel least squares estimators. Penalized least squares estimators necessarily break down numerically for certain penalty matrices. Equivalent hypercube estimators resist this source of numerical instability. Under conditions, a...
متن کاملResurrecting Weighted Least Squares
This paper shows how asymptotically valid inference in regression models based on the weighted least squares (WLS) estimator can be obtained even when the model for reweighting the data is misspecified. Like the ordinary least squares estimator, the WLS estimator can be accompanied by heterokedasticty-consistent (HC) standard errors without knowledge of the functional form of conditional hetero...
متن کاملA Least Squares Approach to Estimating the Average Reservoir Pressure
Least squares method (LSM) is an accurate and rapid method for solving some analytical and numerical problems. This method can be used to estimate the average reservoir pressure in well test analysis. In fact, it may be employed to estimate parameters such as permeability (k) and pore volume (Vp). Regarding this point, buildup, drawdown, late transient test data, modified Muskat method, interfe...
