ols0

ordinary least squares

CALLING SEQUENCE

[bhat,ixpx]=ols0(y,x)

PARAMETERS

Input

* y = dependent variable vector (nobs x 1)

* x = independent variables matrix (nobs x nvar)

 

Output

* bhat = estimated beta in y = x*beta+u

* ixpx = inverse of matrix x'*x

DESCRIPTION

The most basic least-squares regression: provides only the estimated beta, bhat, and the inverse of matrix x'*x. Used mainly in other programs.

EXAMPLE

x=grand(15,3,'nor',0,1)
y=x*ones(3,1)+grand(15,1,'nor',0,1)
b=ols0(y,x)
