How to solve for $mathbf{w}$ in this equation? [closed]












-1












$begingroup$


I'm stuck in this problem. I don't know what to do next. The only thing that comes in my mind is to write this as M (M = order of x) equations and solve them. We have to solve for w (which is also a M dimensional vector).

The answer to the problem is:

P.S. The $mathbf{w}_{MAP}$ is the MAP estimate of the $mathbf{w}$ random variable. The solution to above equation gives $mathbf{w}_{MAP}$.

    You write that $M$ is the order of $X$, but you never say what $X$ is.

    Sorry, I meant small $x_i$. It's a M dimensional vector. w is also a M dimensional vector

By writing $(w^Tx)x$ as $x(x^Tw) = (xx^T)w$ you can write the equation as
$$-r_{dx}(N) = lambda w - left(sum_{i=1}^N x_i x_i^Tright) w$$
$$-r_{dx}(N) = left(lambda I - sum_{i=1}^N x_i x_i^Tright) w$$
$$left( sum_{i=1}^N x_i x_i^T - lambda Iright) w = r_{dx}(N)$$
$$w = left( sum_{i=1}^N x_i x_i^T - lambda Iright)^{-1} r_{dx}(N)$$
