Matrix multiplications
I don't know if there is some sort of propagation delay, but the reason has already been given and multiple fixes suggested. -pd

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 On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 9:10 PM, Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal < roy.mendelssohn at noaa.gov> wrote:

Dear R users: I have written the following lines :
x=c(10,11,12,13,14,17,15,16,10,11,41,25,26,14,12,14,15,20,14,22) x=matrix(x,ncol=2) a=matrix(1,nrow(x),1) X=cbind(a,x) y=c(12.00, 11.00, 13.00, 12.50, 14.00, 18.50, 15.00, 12.50, 13.75,
15.00)
b=solve(t(X)%*% X)%*% t(X)%*% y
when I wrote the following line
(t(y-X %*% b)%*%(y-X %*% b)/(length(y)-ncol(X)))*solve(t(X)%*% X)
I have obtained an error message, I don't know why namely (t(y-X %*% b)%*%(y-X %*% b)/(length(y)-ncol(X))) is a scalar:
(t(y-X %*% b)%*%(y-X %*% b)/(length(y)-ncol(X)))
[,1]
[1,] 3.620354
Can you please help me.
Thank you
George
