Clarification on equation 10.8 #740

Open computbiolgeek opened 1 year ago

computbiolgeek commented 1 year ago

Describe the mistake For equation 10.8 to hold, one has to make the assumption that $||\mathbf{b}_{1}|| = 1$. This assumption is stated in the paragraph immediately following equation 10.3, but it is not re-stated in the context of equation 10.8.

Location Please provide the

  1. Draft (2023-02-15)
  2. Chapter 10.2.1
  3. 321
  4. Equation 10.8

Proposed solution Maybe restate the assumption or say that because we restrict all solutions to $||\mathbf{b}_{1}|| = 1$, immediately after equation 10.8.
