The least-squares method of cost estimation involves using mathematical regression techniques to calculate the slope and intercept of the best-fit line for the costs used in estimation.

In this paper a least squares method, using the minus one norm developed by Bramble, Lazarov, and Pasciak, is introduced to approximate the solution of the Reissner-Mindlin plate problem with small ...
