st: grid-searching an optimal value

[econqian222 <maguixianstatalist@gmail.com>]

Hi,everyone
   Thanks for a kind answer, unfortunately, it can't help to my question, I
would like to hear more regarding to my question.
   I'm searching for an optimal value of "a" belong to the scale [1.05,
131.5] at jumping interval that is 0.05. Correspondingly, “b" belong to the
scale of [0, (a-1)/a] at jumping  interval that is (a-1)/30a. Actually， this
is a kind of grid-searching optimal value.
   To minimize the sum of "u^2" by each value of code(1,2,3,4,...), where
u=y-ax1-bx2, we need to search the optimal value of "a" and "b" within their
respective scale and interval for each value of code(1,2,3,4,...).
   How should I write the program for this task?

the format of data goes as following:
code       y               x1             x2
1       4.65605 .7904362        -1.918414
