Suppose \(A\) is \(m \times n\) with linearly independent columns and \(b\) is in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\). Use the normal equations to produce a formula for \(\hat b\), the projection of b onto \({\rm{Col}}\,A\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The formula is given by, \(\hat b = A{\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T}b\).

Step by step solution

01

Least-square solution

It is given that,\(A\) is a \(m \times n\) matrix with linearly independent columns andb is in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\). So, the least-square solution \(\hat x\)is given by \(\hat x = {\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T}b\).

02

Formula for \(\hat b\)

Given that\(b\)is an orthogonal projection onto\({\rm{Col}}\,A\), then\(\hat b = A\hat x\).

Substitute\(\hat x = {\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T}b\)in the above equation to get:

\(\begin{aligned}{}\hat b &= A\hat x\\\hat b &= A{\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T}b\end{aligned}\)

Hence, the required formula is \(\hat b = A{\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T}b\).
