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.
