Imagine that I have a function $ f(x,y) $ to model a physical phenomenon.
I believe that functions is defined by $$ f(x,y) = A*x + B*y + C*x*y$$
I have many values for $ (x,y,f(x,y)) $, how can I find the approximated value for $(A,B,C)$?
There are the values:
f(x,y) | x | y

Do like with linear regression: minimize $$ \sum_i (f(x_i,y_i) - Ax_i - By_i - Cx_iy_i)^2 $$ on $A,B,C$.
