This error measure is called '''naive least-squares error'''. Least-squares delta error does not depend on whether the chord whose error is being measured is 1:''r''<sub>1</sub>:''r''<sub>2</sub>:...:''r''<sub>''n''</sub> or the same chord linearly shifted to have root x. Unfortunately, this error measure does not form a metric on the set of delta signatures with a fixed number of terms.

This error measure was found by Inthar and groundfault.
