What does the superscript T refer to in the following equations regarding non-linear least squares curve fitting?

$\begingroup$

In the paper, , equations 1), 2), and 3) refer to the chi-squared error criterion.

Equation 2) is reproduced below.

$$ \chi^2({\mathbf p}) = (\mathbf y- \hat{\mathbf y}({\mathbf p}))^{\mathsf T}{\mathbf W}(\mathbf y- \hat{\mathbf y}({\mathbf p})) $$

What does the superscript T notation represent? Equation 2) appears to be short hand notation for equation 1), which sums over i from 1 to m.

I dusting off my old paper (and code) on the Marquardt algorithm from 1966 as well as learning the updates, like Levenberg-Marquardt, that have been made since.

I am not and never was a math major.
