DesignMatrix

DesignMatrix[{{x11,x12,…,y1},{x21,x22,…,y2},…},{f1,f2,…},{x1,x2,…}]

constructs the design matrix for the linear model β0+β1 f1+β2 f2+….

Details and Options

  • DesignMatrix[{y1,y2,…},{f1,f2,…},x] assumes data of the form {{1,y1},{2,y2},…}. »
  • With data in the form {{x_(11),x_(12),...,y_(1)},{x_(21),x_(22),...,y_(2)},...}, the number of coordinates xi1, xi2, … should equal the number of variables xi.
  • The design matrix m is formed from the values of basis functions fi at data points in the form
  • DesignMatrix takes the following options:
  • IncludeConstantBasis Truewhether to include a constant basis function
    NominalVariables Nonevariables considered as nominal or categorical
    WorkingPrecisionAutomaticprecision used in internal computations
  • With the setting IncludeConstantBasis->False, the design matrix for a model of form β1 f1+β2 f2+⋯ is constructed. »
