SUMMARY OF ALL EXPLANATIONS PROVIDED | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
4 +6 | degree of correspondence / match |
| ||
4 +5 | estimate the parameters to minimise total deviation |
|
degree of correspondence / match Explanation: In general terms, we may talk of there being a 'fit' when two things measured in possibly different dimensions match or correspond; this is often used when referring to plots on graphs or other results of functions. So for example if we have a graph of outdoor temperature over a given period, and the graph of national electricity consumption over the same period, we might notice a 'fit' between the graphs if more electricity was consumed on colder days. |
