You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Given a set of data vectors in the following format:
Compute the vector using ordinary least squares regression using the following equation:
You can assume y is given to you as an array, and x is given to you as a two-dimensional array.
Note: This is more general than Polynomial Fitting, which only deals with 2 datasets and only deals with polynomial equations. Ordinary least squares can deal with an arbitrary number of datasets (limited by the processing power of the machine) and can have more advanced equations such as:

and Array.map()
functions.
Extends the Matrix class from Matrix Transpose#JavaScript, Matrix multiplication#JavaScript, Reduced row echelon form#JavaScript. Uses the IdentityMatrix from Matrix exponentiation operator#JavaScript <lang javascript>// modifies the matrix "in place" Matrix.prototype.inverse = function() {

var I = new IdentityMatrix(this.height); for (var i = 0; i < this.height; i++) this.mtx[i] = this.mtx[i].concat(I.mtx[i]) this.width *= 2;
this.toReducedRowEchelonForm();
for (var i = 0; i < this.height; i++) this.mtx[i].splice(0, this.height); this.width /= 2;

Matrix.prototype.regression_coefficients = function(x) {
var x_t = x.transpose(); return x_t.mult(x).inverse().mult(x_t).mult(this);
}
// the Ruby example var y = new ColumnVector([1,2,3,4,5]); var x = new ColumnVector([2,1,3,4,5]); print(y.regression_coefficients(x)); print();

Python
Using
The following
session gives:
<lang python>In [7]: x = [1.47, 1.50, 1.52, 1.55, 1.57, 1.60, 1.63, 1.65, 1.68, 1.70, 1.73, 1.75, 1.78, 1.80, 1.83]
In [8]: y = [52.21, 53.12, 54.48, 55.84, 57.20, 58.57, 59.93, 61.29, 63.11, 64.47, 66.28, 68.10, 69.92, 72.19, 74.46]
In [9]: polyfit(x, y, 2) Out[9]: array([ 61.96032544, -143.16202287, 128.81280358])</lang>
R
R provides the lm() function for linear regression.
<lang R>## Wikipedia Data x <- c(1.47, 1.50, 1.52, 1.55, 1.57, 1.60, 1.63, 1.65, 1.68, 1.70, 1.73, 1.75, 1.78, 1.80, 1.83) } y <- c(52.21, 53.12, 54.48, 55.84, 57.20, 58.57, 59.93, 61.29, 63.11, 64.47, 66.28, 68.10, 69.92, 72.19, 74.46)
lm( y ~ x + I(x^2))</lang> Producing output,
Call: lm(formula = y ~ x + I(x^2)) Coefficients: (Intercept) x I(x^2) 128.81 -143.16 61.96
A simple implementation of multiple regression in native R is useful to illustrate R's model description and linear algebra capabilities.
<lang R>simpleMultipleReg <- function(formula) {
## parse and evaluate the model formula mf <- model.frame(formula)
## create design matrix X <- model.matrix(attr(mf, "terms"), mf)
## create dependent variable Y <- model.response(mf)
## solve solve(t(X) %*% X) %*% t(X) %*% Y
}
simpleMultipleReg(y ~ x + I(x^2))</lang>
This produces the same coefficients as lm()
[,1] (Intercept) 128.81280 x -143.16202 I(x^2) 61.96033
A more efficient way to solve , than
the method above, is to solve the linear system directly and use the crossprod function.
<lang R>solve( crossprod(X), crossprod(X, Y))</lang>
Ruby
Using the standard library Matrix class:
<lang ruby>require 'matrix'
def regression_coefficients y, x
y = Matrix.column_vector y.map { |i| i.to_f } x = Matrix.columns x.map { |xi| xi.map { |i| i.to_f }}
(x.t * x).inverse * x.t * y
end</lang>
Testing: <lang ruby>puts regression_coefficients([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [ [2, 1, 3, 4, 5] ])</lang> Output:
Matrix[[0.981818181818182]]
Tcl
Uses the
linear algebra package.
<lang tcl>package require math::linearalgebra namespace eval multipleRegression {
namespace export regressionCoefficients namespace import ::math::linearalgebra::*
# Matrix inversion is defined in terms of Gaussian elimination # Note that we assume (correctly) that we have a square matrix proc invert {matrix} {
solveGauss $matrix [mkIdentity [lindex [shape $matrix] 0]]
} # Implement the Ordinary Least Squares method proc regressionCoefficients {y x} {
matmul [matmul [invert [matmul $x [transpose $x]]] $x] $y
}
} namespace import multipleRegression::regressionCoefficients</lang> Using an example from the Wikipedia page on the correlation of height and weight: <lang tcl># Simple helper just for this example proc map {n exp list} {
upvar 1 $n v set r {}; foreach v $list {lappend r [uplevel 1 $exp]}; return $r
}
- Data from wikipedia
set x {
1.47 1.50 1.52 1.55 1.57 1.60 1.63 1.65 1.68 1.70 1.73 1.75 1.78 1.80 1.83
} set y {
52.21 53.12 54.48 55.84 57.20 58.57 59.93 61.29 63.11 64.47 66.28 68.10 69.92 72.19 74.46
}
- Wikipedia states that fitting up to the square of x[i] is worth it
puts [regressionCoefficients $y [map n {map v {expr {$v**$n}} $x} {0 1 2}]]</lang> Produces this output (a 3-vector of coefficients):
128.81280358170625 -143.16202286630732 61.96032544293041
Ursala
This exact problem is solved by the DGELSD function from the Lapack library [1], which is callable in Ursala like this. <lang Ursala>regression_coefficients = lapack..dgelsd</lang> test program: <lang Ursala>x =
<
<7.589183e+00,1.703609e+00,-4.477162e+00>, <-4.597851e+00,9.434889e+00,-6.543450e+00>, <4.588202e-01,-6.115153e+00,1.331191e+00>>
y = <1.745005e+00,-4.448092e+00,-4.160842e+00>
- cast %eL
example = regression_coefficients(x,y)</lang> The matrix x needn't be square, and has one row for each data point. The length of y must equal the number of rows in x, and the number of coefficients returned will be the number of columns in x. It would be more typical in practice to initialize x by evaluating a set of basis functions chosen to model some empirical data, but the regression solver is indifferent to the model.
output:
<9.335612e-01,1.101323e+00,1.611777e+00>
A similar method can be used for regression with complex numbers by substituting zgelsd for dgelsd, above.
