The function may be called by the names: f08zbc, nag_lapackeig_dggglm or nag_dggglm.
3Description
f08zbc solves the real general Gauss–Markov linear model (GLM) problem
where is an matrix, is an matrix and is an element vector. It is assumed that , and , where . Under these assumptions, the problem has a unique solution and a minimal -norm solution , which is obtained using a generalized factorization of the matrices and .
In particular, if the matrix is square and nonsingular, then the GLM problem is equivalent to the weighted linear least squares problem
