| tls {DTA} | R Documentation |
Weigthed total least square regression according to Golub and Van Loan (1980) in SIAM J.Numer.Anal Vol 17 No.6.
tls(formula, D = NULL, T = NULL, precision = .Machine$double.eps)
formula |
An object of class formula. |
D |
Diagonal weigth matrix. Default weights are set to 1. |
T |
Diagonal weigth matrix. Default weights are set to 1. |
precision |
Smallest possible numeric value on this machine (default). |
tls returns a lm object.
