degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) in Economics‚ The University of Auckland‚ 2011. Abstract This dissertation‚ by making use of important geometric and econometric concepts such as a ‘linear manifold’‚ a ‘plane of support’‚ a ‘projection matrix’‚ ‘linearly estimable parametric functions’‚ ‘minimum variance estimators’ and ‘linear transformations’‚ seeks to explore the role of a Concentration Ellipsoid as a geometric tool in the interpretation of certain key econometric results connected

Linear Least Squares Suppose we are given a set of data points {(xi ‚ fi )}‚ i = 1‚ . . . ‚ n. These could be measurements from an experiment or obtained simply by evaluating a function at some points. You have seen that we can interpolate these points‚ i.e.‚ either find a polynomial of degree ≤ (n − 1) which passes through all n points or we can use a continuous piecewise interpolant of the data which is usually a better approach. How‚ it might be the case that we know that these data points should

Essay 1 Plato‚ Descartes and The Matrix; what a trio of reading that if not for my ability to read without believing everything that was before my eyes‚ I would not know what to believe. After reading the three synopses I had to regroup and think‚ did I read this or was this a dream? I will now try and compare and contrast the three and show if there were any similarities and differences. I will start with comparing Plato and the Matrix in that there are similarities between the two. The similarities

[edit]Linear independence As mentioned above‚ the determinant of a matrix (with real or complex entries‚ say) is zero if and only if the column vectors of the matrix are linearly dependent. Thus‚ determinants can be used to characterize linearly dependent vectors. For example‚ given two linearly independent vectors v1‚ v2 in R3‚ a third vector v3 lies in the plane spanned by the former two vectors exactly if the determinant of the 3 × 3 matrix consisting of the three vectors is zero. The same idea is also

In all three of these stories the main idea is that reality is in question. In the Matrix‚ the human being is in a pod like machine that is controlled by a computer simulating what we think and know to be reality. Reality is not only created
