Abstract
A graphical method is developed for fitting a straight line to a set of data consisting of two-dimensional points in such a way as to minimize the sum of the absolute deviations of the points from the line.
In this paper, the uniqueness of the solution, which is the line of least absolute deviations, is discussed.
