Derivation of the Ordinary Least Squares Estimator

Y’Y does not include , therefore, the partial of Y’Y w.r.t. is zero. The second term, , is a linear term in . Recall, X’Y is considered a given or constant. Therefore, the derivative of this term is . The last term, , is simply a squared term in with X’X as constants. The derivative … ................
