overdetermined

Example:This overdetermined system of equations is likely to have no solution because there are more equations than unknowns.

Definition:A set of equations or constraints that have more than the necessary conditions for a unique solution. In an overdetermined system, the equations are likely to be inconsistent with each other, leading to no solution.

Example:The regression analysis revealed that the model was overdetermined, as there were too many variables for the given dataset.

Definition:A statistical method that makes predictions based on a set of independent variables. An overdetermined regression model is one where there are more variables than observations, which can lead to overfitting.
