$L=sum_i(y_i-t_i)^2$



I want to differentiate $L$ by $y$.
Unfortunately I didn't learn this material, so a wild guess would be:



$(1) fracdLdy=fracddy (vecycdot vecy^T -2cdot vecy cdot vect^T + vect cdot vect)$



From here I got to:
$=2vecy-2vect^T$



But I guess this not ok, because the dimensions are not equal. This means I needed to do:



$(2) fracdLdy=fracddy vecycdot vecy^T -2cdot vect cdot vecy^T + vect cdot vect$



And then I'll get $=2vecy-2vect$ which is the correct answer I think.



I switched places because it suited me better, but I don't think that math works that way. I'm sure there is an algorithm for these operations.
How I was supposed to know that I should of opened it like in $(2)$ and not like $(1)$ ?

  • Question. In equality "(1)" would not $ vectcdot vect^T $ be in place of $ vectcdotvect$?
