Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)
Let's start by defining the goal of our algorithm, what do we want to achieve with our OLS algorithm? Well if we have data points in a region (or XY-axis), then we want to be able to find an equation that fits as closely to these points as possible. We thus want to minimize the sum of the squared residuals. Just take a look at the picture below to see an illustration of this.

Introduction to Algorithms
In the last semester of school we are learning about datastructures and algorithms. Because this is a very popular subject for companies, I have decided to write articles about it. They will be numbered from easy to hard so that you are able to learn the most critical sorting algorithms first. Also please note that all the code written here has been written by my (unless specified otherwise), because of this there might be some bugs, please contact me if you find any.

Sorting Algorithm - Insertion Sort
Insertion sort is the core algorithm to know, it is also the easiest to understand and implement. The disadvantages however are that it is horribly slow. The recommendation is to use this algorithm when you are sorting really small tables (< 10). Insertion Sort is also used as the base for more advanced algorithms (merge-sort, quick-sort).
