The zlibex.pas unit included in this archive will work with delphi 5, 6,and 7. if you previously downloaded my delphi 5 unit, you will notice that the unit has been renamed. this was done because borland included in its delphi 6 and 7 lib directories a zlib.dcu file and i felt it was more correct to rename my unit and force developers to have to update their code than to make developers worry about the possible file contention in delphi 6 and 7.
The module LSQ is for unconstrained linear least-squares fitting. It is
based upon Applied Statistics algorithm AS 274 (see comments at the start
of the module). A planar-rotation algorithm is used to update the QR-
factorization. This makes it suitable for updating regressions as more
data become available. The module contains a test for singularities which
is simpler and quicker than calculating the singular-value decomposition.
An important feature of the algorithm is that it does not square the condition
number. The matrix X X is not formed. Hence it is suitable for ill-
conditioned problems, such as fitting polynomials.
By taking advantage of the MODULE facility, it has been possible to remove
many of the arguments to routines. Apart from the new function VARPRD,
and a back-substitution routine BKSUB2 which it calls, the routines behave
as in AS 274.
These instructions assume that the 1.4 versions of the java
and appletviewer commands are in your path. If they aren t,
then you should either specify the complete path to the commands
or update your PATH environment variable as described in the
installation instructions for the Java 2 SDK.
ACKAGE INSTALL
===============
NOTE: if you get an error when installing TVideoGrabber on the component palette, probably that you
need to apply a Delphi update pack (see details in the "update PACKS" chapter below).
