There is a difference between classical least squares (Numpy) and TLS (total least squares).
Algorithmically speaking it is even a very different problem. I'd say the only reasonable (i.e. efficient) solution for NumPy is to implement the TLS algorithm in a C subroutine calling LAPACK routines for SVD etc. Konrad. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Konrad Hinsen | E-Mail: hinsen@cnrs-orleans.fr Centre de Biophysique Moleculaire (CNRS) | Tel.: +33-2.38.25.56.24 Rue Charles Sadron | Fax: +33-2.38.63.15.17 45071 Orleans Cedex 2 | Deutsch/Esperanto/English/ France | Nederlands/Francais -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
