Abstract

In this modification of the Aitken Pivotal Condensation Method for obtaining partial regression weights and multiple correlation coefficients, the unit matrices used by Aitken are eliminated, with a resultant decrease in the computational work. Through a simplified arrangement of successive matrices, each one is reduced by the same simple rule. Other modifications also contribute to ease of computation and facilitate checking.
