to construct a matrix of regression estimates in the

arrangement shown below and according to the general

form

Y

ij

=

A

+

BX

i

, where

Y

is the response variable

and column vector for the

i

th component in the

j

th feed

with

n

entries,

A

is the intercept arranged in an

n

×

p

matrix,

B

is the predictor variable arranged in an

n

×

p

matrix, and

X

is the regression coefficient and row

vector for the

i

th component with

n

entries:
