Weighted Least Square is an estimate used in regression situations where the error terms are heteroscedastic or has non constant variance.
To get a better understanding about Weighted Least Squares, lets first see what Ordinary Least Square is and how it differs from Weighted Least Square.
In a simple linear regression model of the form,
where
is the independent variable
is the independent variable
and
are the regression coefficients
is the random error or the residual.
The goal is to find a line that best fits the relationship between the outcome variable and the input variable
. With OLS, the linear regression model finds the line through these points such that the sum of the squares of the difference between the actual and predicted values is minimum.
i.e., to find and
such that
is minimum.
In such linear regression models, the OLS assumes that the error terms or the residuals (the difference between actual and predicted values) are normally distributed with mean zero and constant variance. This constant variance condition is called homoscedasticity.
If this assumption of homoscedasticity does not hold, the various inferences made with this model might not be true.
To check for constant variance across all values along the regression line, a simple plot of the residuals and the fitted outcome values and the histogram of residuals such as below can be used.
In an ideal case with normally distributed error terms with mean zero and constant variance , the plots should look like this.
From the above plots its clearly seen that the error terms are evenly distributed on both sides of the reference zero line proving that they are normally distributed with mean=0 and has constant variance.
The histogram of the residuals also seems to have datapoints symmetric on both sides proving the normality assumption.
In some cases, the variance of the error terms might be heteroscedastic, i.e., there might be changes in the variance of the error terms with increase/decrease in predictor variable.
In those cases of non-constant variance Weighted Least Squares (WLS) can be used as a measure to estimate the outcomes of a linear regression model.
Now let’s see in detail about WLS and how it differs from OLS.

This article will introduce key concepts about Regularized Loss Minimization (RLM) and Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM), and it’ll walk you through the implementation of the least-squares algorithm using MATLAB. The models obtained using RLM and ERM will then be compared and discussed against each other.
We’ll use a polynomial curve-fitting problem to predict the best polynomial for this data. The least-squares algorithm will be implemented step-by-step using MATLAB.
By the end of this post, you’ll understand the least-squares algorithm and be aware of the advantages and downsides of RLM and ERM. Additionally, we’ll discuss some important concepts about overfitting and underfitting.
We’ll use a simple one input dataset with N = 100 data points. This dataset was originally proposed by Dr. Ruth Urner on one of her assignments for a machine learning course. In the repository below, you’ll find two TXT files: dataset1_inputs.txt and dataset1_outputs.txt.
These files contain the input and output vectors. Using MATLAB, we’ll plot these data points in a chart. On MATLAB, I imported them in Home > Import Data. Then, I created the flowing script for plotting the data points.

First of all let’s consider our set of point. Each point has three coordinates, x, y and z where x, y, z are three reals. You can see the set of point use in this exemple in the following picture.
Now that we have our points we can start digging into the math. Let me remind you what a plan is mathematicaly speaking. A plan is the result of a linear fonction of two variables, these fancy words simply means that for a couple of two numbers _x _and y, the function gives you a third number z, thus the link between x, y and z is linear, meaning the operations done on x and y are only multiplication with a real or addition with a real. Finally we can write this equation for a plan P’ :
Any given couple of _x _and y has a corresponding z value, we can use our x and y values in this equation to express the gap between the z value of our point and the z value it should have if it was part of this “ideal” plan. We will call this new function g for gap.
