Least Square: A statistical criterion for the estimation of parameters in regression. Least squares means that the method aims to minimize the sum of squared differences between the observations and the predictions from a model. For example, VPA tuning at times involves finding the estimates of abundance and mortality rates that minimize the sum of squared differences between standardized CPUE and predicted abundance from the VPA.
