Abstract
Mapping Functions and OPDF's (Optimum Parameter Driving Functions) defined in this paper are simple, intuitive, and useful tools for evaluating OLS parameter estimates. Parameter errors equal the inner product of the noise waveform and the mapping functions. Low orthogonality of the sensitivities (regressors) increases the mapping functions and the error of each parameter by a factor equal to its GDOP (Geometric Dilution of Precision). Smallest signals able to produce unit parameter changes are the OPDF's (Optimal Parameter Driving Functions). Spectral analysis of the mapping functions exposes the spectral sensitivity of a parameter to added noise.
