[R] Solving linear equations

[Spencer Graves]

      How do you wish to decide how to resolve the likely 
inconsistencies in the overdetermined system?  If you assume the 
vertical deviations from a linear fit are normally distributed with 
constant variance, then "lm" should do what you want. 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves
