where rhs represents the right-hand side of the equation.
The action of this statement is identical to the
scaling carried out when computing the R value or the residual
(cf. Eqs. 12.1, 12.6), except that it refers
the scaling to the right-hand side of the equation, whereas
in the residual or R value evaluation the scaling
refers to .
Therefore, if the right-hand side of the scaling operation consists
of
, the program refers only to
but not to
to
.
