Class preparation
Class 2 (16 September)
- Reading for class 2
- Linear algebra topics you should be familiar with before class 2:
- matrix multiplication
- that matrix multiplication of a vector by a matrix is a transformation from one coordinate system to another (we will review this in class)
- linear combinations (read the first section of that website: we will review this in class)
- the dot product of 2 vectors, and that they are related by the cosine of the angle between them (see the geometric interpretation section)
Class 3 (23 September)
- Least squares:
- what is the objective function of least squares
- how to calculate the two regression coefficients \(b_0\) and \(b_1\) for \(y = b_0 + b_1x + e\)
- understand that the residuals in least squares are orthogonal to \(x\)
- Some optimization theory:
- how an optimization problem is written with equality constraints
- the Lagrange multiplier principle for solving simple, equality constrained optimization problems
- Reading on cross validation
Update
This illustration should help better explain what I trying to get across in class 2B
