Phil Steitz commented on MATH-1260:
-----------------------------------

Looks like a good enhancement request.  The formula presented is for the 
standard error for mean response.  We should add this as well as standard error 
for predicted values.   I don't think we need to return NaN for the no 
intercept case.  We should probably also expose xbar as well.

> SimpleRegression add new method: getPredictionStdErr(double x)

> I would like to be able to get the standard error of a predicted y value 
> given an x value for a SimpleRegression instance.
> I believe (but I don't know) that it's as simple as something like adding the 
> following to SimpleRegression:
> {code:java}
> public double getPredictionStdErr(double x) {
>     if( !hasIntercept ){
>         return Double.NaN;
>     }
>     return FastMath.sqrt(
>          getMeanSquareError() * ((1d / n) + ((xbar - x) * (xbar - x)) / 
> sumXX));
> }
> {code}
