The least squares process of MEDIA for computing DRVID calibration polynomials

A process is described and evaluated for computing a least squares polynomial approximation of data points in which the optimum degree of the polynomial is automatically determined. An iterative smoothing technique is used to replace every point with the value taken on by a moving least squares polynomial computed from a subset of points centered at the point to be replaced. The optimum degree of the resulting polynomial approximation is determined by analyzing the finite differences of each successive set of smoothed points. To evaluate the process, both artificially constructed data and actual Mariner Mars 1971 (MM'71) tracking data are used. This process was incorporated into a transmission media calibration computer program (MEDIA), which calibrates radiometric data to overcome the effects on the tracking signal of charged particle media. MEDIA was used in support of MM'71
