Closed-form least-squares source location estimation from range-difference measurements
Abstract
Three noniterative techniques are presented for localizing a single source given a set of noisy range-difference measurements. The localization formulas are derived from linear least-squares "equation error" minimization, and in one case the maximum likelihood bearing estimate is approached. Geometric interpretations of the equation error norms minimized by the three methods are given, and the statistical performances of the three methods are compared via computer simulation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
