Abstract

In this paper, we present a method of estimating the characteristics of simple oscillating systems by the principle of least squares. It is shown that the mean of two successive positions of an oscillating particle does not always provide, the best estimate. Weighting factors for computing the best estimate have been computed for (i) a system oscillating with unit frequency, (ii) a system oscilating with any frequency and (iii) Rossby waves in the atmosphere.
