Yes, I left out the variance estimates in the covariance matrix formulas. Thanks for catching this. The covariance formulas should have been r.r/(n-p) Inverse[Transpose[X].X] and r.r/(n-p) Inverse[Transpose[approxX].approxX] Darren Glosemeyer Wolfram Research Ray Koopman wrote: > Shouldn't both of those be multiplied by Sqrt[r.r/(n-p)], > where r is the vector of residuals at the minimum, > n is the number of data points, > and p is the number of parameters? > > Darren Glosemeyer wrote: > >> The standard errors for parameter estimates in linear regression are the >> square roots of the diagonal elements of the parameter covariance matrix >> >> Inverse[Transpose[X].X] >> >> where X is the design matrix for the regression.
