What is numerical stability in linear regression computation?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
Numerical stability ensures small input errors do not cause large output errors.
Deep explanation
Direct inversion of XᵀX can be unstable due to floating-point errors. Stable methods like QR decomposition or SVD are preferred in production systems.
