<h4 class="subsection">38.8.6 Large Dense Linear Regression Example</h4>

<p>The following program demostrates the large dense linear least squares
solvers. This example is adapted from Trefethen and Bau,
and fits the function <em>f(t) = \exp{(\sin^3{(10t)}})</em> on
the interval <em>[0,1]</em> with a degree 15 polynomial. The
program generates <em>n = 50000</em> equally spaced points
<em>t_i</em> on this interval, calculates the function value
and adds random noise to determine the observation value
<em>y_i</em>. The entries of the least squares matrix are
<em>X_{ij} = t_i^j</em>, representing a polynomial fit. The
matrix is highly ill-conditioned, with a condition number
of about <em>1.4 \cdot 10^{11}</em>. The program accumulates the
matrix into the least squares system in 5 blocks, each with
10000 rows. This way the full matrix <em>X</em> is never
stored in memory. We solve the system with both the
normal equations and TSQR methods. The results are shown
in the plot below. In the top left plot, we see the unregularized
normal equations solution has larger error than TSQR due to
the ill-conditioning of the matrix. In the bottom left plot,
we show the L-curve, which exhibits multiple corners.
In the top right panel, we plot a regularized solution using
<em>\lambda = 10^{-6}</em>. The TSQR and normal solutions now agree,
however they are unable to provide a good fit due to the damping.
This indicates that for some ill-conditioned
problems, regularizing the normal equations does not improve the
solution. This is further illustrated in the bottom right panel,
where we plot the L-curve calculated from the normal equations.
The curve agrees with the TSQR curve for larger damping parameters,
but for small <em>\lambda</em>, the normal equations approach cannot
provide accurate solution vectors leading to numerical
inaccuracies in the left portion of the curve.
