This document gives a short summary of the basic formulas used for least squares
adjustment and it gives instructions which vector or matrix of the normal equation
system belongs to the individual SINEX blocks.
SUMMARY OF LEAST SQUARES ADJUSTMENT FORMULAS
You have n_obs linearized observation equations
(1) v = A dx - l
where
n_obs number of observations
v residual vector
A Jacobian matrix
dx corrections for the unknowns x concerning the apriori values x0
i.e. x = x0 + dx
with
n_unk number of unknowns
l vector 'observed' minus 'computed with apriori values'.
P denotes the weight matrix for the observations.
The goal of least square adjustment is to minimize the square sum of residuals:
(2) v' P v
