TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a physical interpretation of estimating the parameters of a linear functional relationship model from the stable equilibrium position of a mechanical system, and find that the estimates obtained from the physical model coincide with the maximum likelihood estimates.
Abstract: This paper presents a physical interpretation of estimating the parameters of a linear functional relationship model. The estimates are determined from the stable equilibrium position of a mechanical system. It is found that the estimates obtained from the physical model coincide with the maximum likelihood estimates.
