SUMMARY This paper examines the statistical behaviour of some least squares estimators of the centre and radius of a circle. Two error models are used. The asymptotic consistency of the estimators is investigated. Where asymptotic consistency is established, asymptotic covariance matrices are obtained. A small sample simulation study gives results showing the same pattern as those of the asymptotic theory.
