Derivative of function with 2 summations and powers

I'm trying to compute the gradient of a complex loss function but I'm stuck on calculating the derivative of part of the expression,namely:



with respect to $w_i$



$$sum_{n=1}^N(y^n -w_0 - sum_{j=1}^p A_{nj}w_j)^2$$



A - design matrix;
w - vector; y - vector; $w_0$ - first element of w



Edit
Where it said k it should have been n - now fixed










share|cite|improve this question
























  • How can $y$ be a vector? Should it be $y_n$ rather than $y^n$?

  • Yes, it does not matter whether the upper limit of the sum is called $N$ or $K$.

  • Changing $k$ to $j$ in $A_{kj}$ just changes the last lines. I have updated my answer.
