This article is fine as a reference for experts, but offers very little utility for students (for example) at the advanced high school or freshman undergraduate level who may find this information useful but do not yet speak the language of matrix algebra. It is perfectly straightforward to explain weighted fitting in the language of summation signs; I propose this article needs such an expansion. |

Not useful for those unfamiliar with the language of matrix math
This article is fine as a reference for experts, but offers very little utility for students (for example) at the advanced high school or freshman undergraduate level who may find this information useful but do not yet speak the language of matrix algebra. It is perfectly straightforward to explain weighted fitting in the language of summation signs; I propose this article needs such an expansion.

Mistakes
There is something wrong with last line of formula, it should be W in the middle instead of W^2.
KL
Hi. I do not see the mistake. Please edit as needed.

In the Linear Algebra Derivation, the pre multiplication of the parameter vector, Beta, by the traspose of the design matrix,X, is dimensionally incorrect. The system of equations shown is given by themultiplication of beta by X. For the rest of the derivation the places of X and transpose(X) should be swapped.

In the first equation I believe it should be r_i and not r^2_i. 192.114.105.254 (talk) 11:08, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
Sources
There is no scientific source cited in here. Though I do have hope that all of what's written in here is correct, I would still prefer to cite some source with a better acknowledged reliability. I think the following book could be suitable for that:
- Norman R. Draper, Harry Smith, "Applied Regression Analysis", Chapter 9.2 "Generalized Least Squares and Weighted Least Squares", 3rd Edition, Wiley, 1998, ISBN-10: 0-471-17082-8.
I'll have a look at it in the library later and check the contents of the article with those of the book. If they match, I can cite that book here.
There are many references; the one you cite is known enough. My only concern is that sometimes they use row vectors in the notation. This could lead to a misinterpretation, because the transpose operators change depending on the row or column convention.

A major proposal
Please see talk:least squares#A major proposal for details, which include a proposal to merge this article into a revised version of linear least squares. Petergans (talk) 17:45, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Missing expressions?
The expressions given above are based on the implicit assumption that the errors are uncorrelated with each other and with the independent variables and have equal variance.
There are no expressions above this line. Either there are expressions missing or somehow this text is an artefact from a prior version? Lerad (talk) 11:56, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
