not to sound too dumb, but does anyone have a good reference on what
this QR decomposition actually is? I'd love to look at it.

By the way, i've written some tests for my own RealMatrix-based
implementation of multiple linear regression, and the numerics aren't
too bad at all as far as i could tell (first differences appearing
around the 12th digit after the decimal point or so). that is, without
a more comprehensive test.  Do you guys maybe have a requirement for
how accurate an algorithm must be to be acceptable?
