I'd like to code the Octave code below ( X is a matrix, y a vector )

w = ( ( X' * X ) \ X' ) * y ;

in a .oct file, but my standard reference for things C++/.oct at
http://wiki.octave.org/Tips_and_tricks doesn't say how to do this. Any
hints?

Hi,

are you trying to solve a linear least squares problem? I'm pretty sure that octave has more efficient ways to handle this task than to compute ( X' * X ) \ X'. Especially if X is large and a full matrix, then this computation will be pretty expensive.

Regards,
Laurent
