Hi! Do you people use least squares method or sum of absolute values of errors (or perhaps something else) when calculating the optimal values for generators? I know least squares is used in statistics but to me it seems that absolute values would be much more appropriate in tuning calculations. Fokker used least squares. Paul Erlich too I suppose. What is the idea behind using them and not absolute values or something else? Thanks, Kalle ------------------------ Yahoo!
