Constrained Least Squares confusion - 2021

Currently on 2017 and use least squares for everything.

Regarding 2021+ My opinion is this new DEFAULT ..........'Constrained Least Squares' methodology, is not least squares, but is taking the highs and accounting for rocking conditions and they are calling it 'constrained least squares' when it is not least squares, it is the 'highs accounting for rocking'.

Am I missing something?

  • With "Constrained Least Squares", the used algorithm IS "Least Squares", no doubt about it, but after calculating it, a constrainment is used on it by shifting the least squares solution to the high point, giving a very stable and reproducable solution. So, yes, it is in fact named correctly.
