Given the set of n circles. For each circle we know coordinate of it’s center, (x_i,y_i), radius (r_i) and the uncertainty of the radius ?_r_i. I want to find a line “ax + b”, that will best fit these circles. For this I use the ?2 estimator defined as follows
Tj63S07eMWfffQ5ybRi45LJi5gMZuniic_4sm5W1OSW4DVlPt1Yry0z9M6DD3spY9mcZ0Vev4n4JerHvaCWGjqOL37SspAbx4QLPcWyGEKK5Wvm9Pm7aA-9AmQNNCAFzEmXqDCAimZk


Here d_i is the distance between the line and the circle.
Correct a and b of the line are such that minimizes ?2.
With the standard way, I got a derivative and tried to solve it, but I didn't see an analytic solution.

I was wondering if someone has knows the the solution, and if there is an analytic solution?

The attached plot should make it more clear what the question is.
