In many cases of multiple regression in an undefined system, some independent variables may not be orthogonal to each other. such cases, the systems either are solvable or induce incorrect results which could vary with data used. Such problems often overcome by using Ridge method. This article proposes alternative way getting exact least square estimator iterative We prove solvability proposed algorithm and demonstrate that our method outperforms traditional approaches.
