- Definition in variance analysis it is customary to regard the data as generated by a model(usually linear)consisting of certain class effects plus a stochastic component.When estimates are made of the class effects and subtracted from the observations,the residuals are estimates of the contribution from the stochastic component and the sum of squares of these residuals is known as the'error sum of squares',though'residual sum of squares'is preferable from many points of view Reference Kendall & Buckland,Dict.of Stat.Terms,1982
