Abstract
A standard errors-in-variables (EIV) model refers to a Gauss–Markov model with an uncertain model matrix from a geodetic perspective. Least squares within the EIV model is usually called the total least squares (TLS) technique because of its symmetrical adjustment. However, the solutions and computational advantages of the weighted TLS problem with a general weight matrix (WTLS) are mostly unknown. In this study, the WTLS problem was solved using three different approaches: iterative methods based on the normal equation, the iteratively linearized Gauss–Helmert model with algebraic Jacobian matrices, and numerical analysis. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for WTLS optimization were investigated systematically as proposed solutions yield only necessary conditions for optimality. A WTLS solution was considered to treat random parameters within the EIV model. Last, applications to test these novel algorithms are presented.
