I am writing a paper that uses one of the equations from an old(1969) paper
Now I have been asked the meaning of a single right bracket?
It seems it's differentiating between one dimensional and 2 dimensional matrices. However I cannot find anywhere any written description of what it means or is my interpretation correct? b] = [A]y]
Anyone from mathematical background provide a link to single side brackets and their interpretation?
The author appears to be using paired square brackets to indicate a matrix, and a single closing square bracket to indicate a column vector.
Let's perform the substitutions (and please pardon my crude rendering of mathematical notation, I don't know how to do it better):
log(βi/αi) = Σj=1n(gij-hij) log(Xj)
bi = Σj=1n aij yj
bi = (A y)i
b = A y
A is an mxn matrix, y is an nx1 column vector, and b is an mx1 column vector.
