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
