Dear Researchers, I need to convert the following equation in R from Matlab
a = [x y ones(size(x))]; b = [-(x.^2+y.^2)]; a\b ans = -9.9981 -16.4966 -7.6646 my solution in R is: a = cbind(x,y,rep(1,length(x))) b = cbind(-(x^2+y^2)) > head(a) x y [1,] 14.45319 5.065726 1 [2,] 14.99478 5.173893 1 [3,] 14.64158 5.616916 1 [4,] 14.61803 6.624069 1 [5,] 14.19997 6.794587 1 [6,] 15.08174 8.224843 1 > head(b) [,1] [1,] -234.5564 [2,] -251.6125 [3,] -245.9255 [4,] -257.5652 [5,] -247.8057 [6,] -295.1068 following MATLAB/ R Reference http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Hiebeler-matlabR.pdf the a\b could be converted by solve(a,b) but i get the following error: > solve(a,b) Error in solve.default(a, b) : 'b' must be compatible with 'a' thanks for any help Gianni [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
