LEAST-SQUARED METHOD of approximating cost is a statistical approach that is both objective and considers all the data points.

The regression line is in the form Y=a + bX, where X is the independent variable and Y is the dependent variable. The coefficient of determination (R2) can be used to judge the line's goodness of fit.
