It is useful to provide for the calculation of the least-squares integrals, compare Figure 2.10 and fig2-10.xls, between the hydrogenic and approximate functions, so, on both worksheets, include this procedure with, in Is the projections of cell formulae exemplified by... 

Figure 4.11 Calculation of the 2s orbital energy in hydrogen with the sto-3g ls> basis set, Table 1.6, for the 2s Slater function rendered orthogonal to the sto-3g ls> function. The initial calculation returns a poor estimate of the energy terms and 2 for the minimization condition on the least-squares integral of Chapter 3. Optimization based on the minimization of the energy, using SOLVER on the Slater exponent, returns closer agreement with the exact results.

Both the numerical and the analytical methods discussed in this chapter can be tedious to carry out, especially with large collections of precise data. Fortunately, the modem digital computer is ideally suited to carry out the repetitive arithmetic operations that are involved. Once a program has been written for a particular computation, whether it be numerical integration or the least-squares fitting of experimental data, it is only necessary to provide a new set of data each time the computation is to be calculated. 

In most biological cases/(C) is nonlinear and analytical integration is difficult or impossible. Numerical integration again allows calculation of concentration at the end of each experiment. Differences between simulated and experimental data are then minimized using, e.g., the least squares criterion. Both experimental approaches are compared in Table 1, especially with respect to their suitability for kinetic screening. 

Analysis of the digitized peak shapes is critical for the calculation of M2. The least-squares method was used to determine the base line for the moment calculations. Detailed description of the data analysis may be found in Ref. 1. The integrations of the integrals in Equations 1 and 4 were done by Bode s rule (Newton-Cotes four-point formula). 

According to the DFA method, the time series y t) is first integrated and then divided into boxes of equal length, At. In each box, a least squares line (or polynomial curve of order /, DFA-/) is then fitted, in order to detrend the integrated time series by subtracting the locally fitted trend in each box. The root-mean-square (rms) fluctuation Fd(At) of this integrated and detrended time series is calculated over all timescales (box sizes). 

Two approaches have been applied to estimate the net charges of atoms from the observed electron-density distribution in crystals. The first method is a direct integration of observed density in an appropriate region around an atom (hereafter abbreviated as DI method) (64). The second is the so-called extended L-shell method (ELS method) (19, 81) in which a valence electron population of an atom is calculated by a least-squares method on the observed and calculated structure amplitudes. 

The calculations needed for corrections and normalization of solution X-ray diffraction data, for calculation of radial distribution functions, for model calculations, and for least-squares refinements (16) can conveniently be done on a personal computer for which integrated program systems are available (17). 

Mossbauer spectrometry is a powerful means for the elucidation of the state of iron in materials [44,138-142,145]. Figure 4.63 [44] shows the 57Fe Mossbauer spectra of the natural zeolite rocks, such as MP, C2, Cl, and C4 (see Table 4.1). In Table 4.12, the Mossbauer parameters calculated with the help of the numerical resolution of the spectra presented in Figure 4.63 are reported. That is, with the help of the recorded spectra, the accurate peak positions, integrated intensities, as well as the FWHM of each peak were calculated. This calculation was carried out by fitting the spectra with three quadrupole doublets one for site 1, another for site 2, and a last one for site 3 [44], The peaks were simulated with Gaussian functions and the fitting process for the numerical resolution of the spectra was carried was carried out with a peak separation and analysis software, developed for this purpose [44,145] based on a least square procedure [48],... 

Numerous reports are available [19,229-248] on the development and analysis of the different procedures of estimating the reactivity ratio from the experimental data obtained over a wide range of conversions. These procedures employ different modifications of the integrated form of the copolymerization equation. For example, intersection [19,229,231,235], (KT) [236,240], (YBR) [235], and other [242] linear least-squares procedures have been developed for the treatment of initial polymer composition data. Naturally, the application of the non-linear procedures allows one to obtain more accurate estimates of the reactivity ratios. However, majority of the calculation procedures suffers from the fact that the measurement errors of the independent variable (the monomer feed composition) are not considered. This simplification can lead in certain cases to significant errors in the estimated kinetic parameters [239]. Special methods [238, 239, 241, 247] were developed to avoid these difficulties. One of them called error-in-variables method (EVM) [239, 241, 247] seems to be the best. EVM implies a statistical approach to the general problem of estimating parameters in mathematical models when the errors in all measured variables are taken into account. Though this method requires more information than do ordinary non-linear least-squares procedures, it provides more reliable estimates of rt and r2 as well as their confidence limits. 

From the relative NMR areas obtained from the instrnmental integration, calculate the value of Kp and its uncertainty. If possible obtain the spectrum as an ASCII intensity file in order to obtain improved integration values by doing a nonlinear least-squares fit of the data. A suitable function based on Lorentzian line shapes is... 

For an estimated vector of the three parameters, curves of Za and Z as a function of time can be calculated by the integration (if necessary, numerical) of Eqs. (22) and (23) and compared with the experimental results. An objective function can be minimized by suitable-least-squares calculations as the vector of parameters is varied according to the proper procedures (27,106,107). 

Equation (3) was integrated numerically to obtain the enthalpy. The model was determined by fitting to the selected values with a nonlinear least-squares program. The vector of residuals was calculated using the numerical integration of equation (3) to obtain the enthalpy increments. Included in the representation were the enthalpy increment measurements from Klemm et al. (1963) and the heat capacity values given by Culvert...
