Show that the hat matrix is idempotent (i.e. by showing that ?2 = ?) and symmetric.

Solutions

Expert Solution

In linear regression, the formula for the hat matrix is given by:

where is the matrix of independent variables; and

is the transpose of the matrix .

Now, consider:

Thus, the hat matrix is idempotent.

Now, we show that the hat matrix is symmetric, consider:

Thus, the hat matrix is symmetric.

A square matrix A is said to be symmetric if its transpose AT satisfies AT= A, and a complex-valued square matrix A is said to be Hermitian if its conjugate transpose AH = (A)T = AT satisfies AH = A. Thus, a real-valued square matrix A is symmetric if and only if it is Hermitian. Which of the following is a vector space? (a) The set of all n xn real-valued symmetric matrices over R.

Create a square, almost symmetric 4 X 4 matrix B with values 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the diagonal. Let values off diagonal be between 0.01 and 0.2. Almost symmetric matrix is not a scientific term. It just means that most of the off diagonal terms on transpose positions are close in value: 1. Determine matrix BINV which is an inverse of matrix B; 2. Demonstrate that the matrix multiplied by its inverse produces a unit matrix. Unit matrix...

A JAVA program that will read a boolean matrix corresponding to a relation R and output whether R is Reflexive, Symmetric, Anti-Symmetric and/or Transitive. Input to the program will be the size n of an n x n boolean matrix followed by the matrix elements. Document your program nicely.NOTE: The program must output a reason in the case that an input relation fails to have a certain property.
