Let x =[x1,x2,..,xM be a regressor with each dimension represents a feature input.d corresponds to an output of x.Their dependencies can be expressed by a linear regression model as follows: M d= ∑ Wixi+E i=1 1 w1,w2,...,wM:set of fixed but unknown parameters. 2 e:expected error of the model."Fixed"means that we assume that the environment is stable,static. Written in a vector and matrix form: d=wx+E 5178
▶ Let x = [x1, x2, · · · , xM] T be a regressor with each dimension represents a feature input. d corresponds to an output of x. Their dependencies can be expressed by a linear regression model as follows: d = X M i=1 wixi + ε 1 w1,w2, · · · ,wM : set of fixed but unknown parameters. 2 ε: expected error of the model. ”Fixed” means that we assume that the environment is stable, static. ▶ Written in a vector and matrix form: d = w T x + ε 5 / 78
