The documentation for function "mvregress" states that the return value "beta" is a vector of the regression coefficients. Looking deeper into "Multivariate Normal Regression", we see that matlab uses the same regression coefficients ("beta") for every dimension of the multivariate response variable Y
This is ludicrous. Of course each component of the response variable can have its own set of coefficients. THAT is multivariate linear regression.
Am I missing something? Is this just an inherent shortcoming in matlab's "mvregress" function? If so, what a bizarre design choice…
Is there some way to get real multivariate linear regression, i.e. get a matrix beta of regression coefficients?
