Abstract
The aim of the paper is the creation of an efficient algorithm to set up the normal equation system which produces the observation weights under approximation of the inverse of a given criterion matrix. The objective of minimizing the required computer memory and the number of computer operations is reached by analytically formulating the normal equation coefficients for one and two-dimensional networks.
