Talk:Projection matrix

message: This opening sentence seems weird:
: The hat matrix, H, is used in statistics to relate errors in residuals to experimental errors.
I'm going to think about how to rephrase it. Michael Hardy (talk) 22:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just done that and rewritten the article to leave the use of H in formulae to do with errors to later, and changed to more standard notation for linear models as used in other Wikipedia entries. Qwfp (talk) 15:26, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: 2008

message: The wikilink operator matrix redirects here, but this term is not mentioned. Is this meant to be the same as the hat matrix, or is it some other combination of matrices that appear here? This particular wikilink is presently accessed from Mean squared prediction error. Melcombe (talk) 12:39, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Since operator is the same as transformation in linear algebra, it is natural to expect that "operator matrix" should redirect to transformation matrix. --Javalenok (talk) 20:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: A redirect here

message: I think it would be useful to have a section about some basic characteristics of the hat matrix, such as the fact that this matrix ix symmetric and H^2 = H.--91.138.154.198 (talk) 21:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Some additions

message: It is stated that the hat matrix has a number of useful properties, but none of them are given -- why state this but not give any examples? Further, at least one of the two citations (Draper) given at this point doesn't appear to mention any properties of the hat matrix that I can see. This part should either be elaborated on, or removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.60.86.172 (talk) 16:46, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Properties 

message: Maybe I'm seeing this through the econometrics lense, but I'm off the impression that \mathbf{X}(\mathbf{X}^{\mathsf{T}}\mathbf{X})^{-1}\mathbf{X}^{\mathsf{T}} is more often referred to as "projection matrix" rather than "hat matrix." Most notable in Amemiya (1985), Advanced Econometrics, and Hayashi (2000), Econometrics, two of the most influential graduate-level econometrics textbooks.

Talk:Zvyazda

message: The transliteration of the Cyrillic title Звязда alternates between "Zvyazda" and "Zviazda".

thread_title:  meaning? 

message: I see that "Ram caught in a thicket" redirects here.  I think that is a mistake. For me, and I suspect for many English-speakers in Christian countries around the world, that phrase refers to an incident in the Book of Genesis chapter 22 in which God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son, as described in Wikipedia in the article Binding of Isaac. I would like to replace the redirect by a disambiguation page for "Ram caught in a thicket", linking both here and to Binding of Isaac. 
Your opinions? Maproom (talk) 21:21, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, especially since the name "Ram caught in a thicket" for this sculpture is inspired by the story in Genesis (and is clearly a bit of a misnomer, since this is a sculpture of a goat and isn't "caught", but that's neither here nor there). Furius (talk) 22:12, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Splitting 

message: In response to a message I received from Tourskin, I would have to say I disagree with including the non-existent red links on this template. The purpose of the template is for easy navigation around related articles, but having a clunky template with too many unnecessary links simply defeats the purpose of having these templates. Since the Byzantine-Arab Wars (780 - 1180) already covers the battles anyway, having so many links for non-existent articles is a bit pointless in my opinion. I think we should only include those later battles on the template only after some seperate articles for them are created. Jagged 85 (talk) 01:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
