The coordinate frame transformation (CFT) problem in geodesy is typically solved by a stepwise approach which entails both inverse and forward treatment of the available data. The unknown transformation parameters are first estimated on the basis of common points given in both frames, and subsequently they are used for transforming the coordinates of other (new) points from their initial frame to the desired target frame. Such an approach, despite its rational reasoning, does not provide the optimal accuracy for the transformed coordinates as it overlooks the stochastic correlation (which often exists) between the common and the new points in the initial frame.
