Estimates coefficients of a linear regression model using

\boldsymbol{\hat{β}} = ≤ft( \mathbf{X}^{T} \mathbf{X} \right)^{-1} ≤ft( \mathbf{X}^{T} \mathbf{y} \right) .

Also know as the normal equation.

1	.betahatnorm(X, y)

`X`	`n` by `k` numeric matrix. The data matrix \mathbf{X} (also known as design matrix, model matrix or regressor matrix) is an n \times k matrix of n observations of k regressors, which includes a regressor whose value is 1 for each observation on the first column.
`y`	Numeric vector of length `n` or `n` by `1` matrix. The vector \mathbf{y} is an n \times 1 vector of observations on the regressand variable.

Returns \boldsymbol{\hat{β}}, that is, a k \times 1 vector of estimates of k unknown regression coefficients estimated using ordinary least squares.

# Simple regression------------------------------------------------
X <- jeksterslabRdatarepo::wages.matrix[["X"]]
X <- X[, c(1, ncol(X))]
y <- jeksterslabRdatarepo::wages.matrix[["y"]]
.betahatnorm(X = X, y = y)

# Multiple regression----------------------------------------------
X <- jeksterslabRdatarepo::wages.matrix[["X"]]
# age is removed
X <- X[, -ncol(X)]
