  • Section 6.5 Least Squares
    • Read Section 6.5. Do Problems 6.79. WeBWorK reading question due December 1 @ 9:50 am.
    • Homework: 6.83, 6.85, 6.86, 6.89, 6.91, 6.92, 6.93
    • Hand In: 6.86*, 6.93, LS1 (below)
      • 6.86*. Complete Problem 6.86 on Page 378, but with \(B_1=[1,3,-1,1,-1]^t\ \mbox{and}\ B_2 = [1,0,2,1,2]^t.\)
      • 6.93. Complete Problem 6.93 on Pages 379-380, as stated in the text.
      • LS1. Find the least squares best fit line \(y = a + bt\) to the four points \((t,y) = (0,1),(1,6),(3,14),(4,18)\). Also compute the predicted values vector \(B_0\) of \(y\) for each of the given \(t\) values, and then compute the error vector \(B_1 = B - B_0\).
