[R] Matrix multiplications

[george brida]

Roy,

Yes, t(y-X %*% b) is the transpose of y-X %*% b. In principle the product
of  t(y-X %*% b) *(y-X %*% b) is a scalar, I don't know why I have an error
message after the following line:

(t(y-X %*% b)%*%(y-X %*% b)/(length(y)-ncol(X)))*solve(t(X)%*% X)

Thanks
