nP-n-L2: nP-LSD Line


The nP-LSD line is the line with the Least Sum of Squared Distances of the vertices of an n-Point to this line.

Construction

Choose a random couple of perpendicular lines intersecting in the Centroid Gp = nP-P1 as axes of the Complex plane.

Let the complex numbers zi = xi + i.yi represent the vertices of the n-Point.

The centroid of the vertices is the point nP-P1 where z = 0.

The centroid of the points represented by zi2 is a 2nd point Gq = nP-Px.

Draw the line nP-P1.nP-Px (depending of the chosen axes).

The searched LSD Line is the bisector of the angle between this line nP-P1.nP-Px and the x-axis of the xi (this last line is independent of the chosen axes).
