How to minimize the sum of all errors in all grid with dynamic programming?

Viewed 78

Given n points in a 3D space. Each point can be represented as (x_i, y_i, z_i). Now we can split the x-axis into m continuous intervals and so as the y-axis, and we get m*n grids. For each grid, we define the error as sum(z_i - z^{bar})^2, where z^{bar} is the average value of z in each grid.

The object is to minimize the total error of all the grids, and further more, plus the number of grids.

So how to solve it with dynamic programming?
