SUMMARY
X'X in linear algebra represents the product of a matrix X and its transpose, denoted as XTX. This operation is crucial in statistical analysis, particularly in calculating the sums of squares and cross-product matrix, which are essential for regression analysis. The notation X' is universally recognized as the transpose of matrix X, making X'X a fundamental concept in matrix algebra.
