DescriptionLeast squares projection geometry.png
English: Geometric illustration of ordinary least squares: vector b projected onto the column space spanned by vectors a₁ and a₂, with the residual orthogonal to the plane.
This diagram illustrates the geometric interpretation of least squares regression as an orthogonal projection in linear algebra.
