Examples of Quadratic Forms
In the setting where one has a set of observations and an operator matrix, then the residual sum of squares can be written as a quadratic form in :
For procedures where the matrix is symmetric and idempotent, and the errors are Gaussian with covariance matrix, has a chi-squared distribution with degrees of freedom and noncentrality parameter, where
may be found by matching the first two central moments of a noncentral chi-squared random variable to the expressions given in the first two sections. If estimates with no bias, then the noncentrality is zero and follows a central chi-squared distribution.

Famous quotes containing the words examples of, examples and/or forms:
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory—of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
