Is this possible using some combination of ellipse3d() and ellipse()? Any
insights would be greatly appreciated.
The situation described in Rawlings is for a single regression model,
with an associated covariance matrix of the parameters which is the
basis for the ellipsoid.
If all you have are the coefficient estimates, where do you think your
ellipsoid can come from?
Nevertheless, the situation you described -- plotting confidence
ellipsoids for a model with projections on the XY and other planes
is handled by the p3d package, only on R-Forge
https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/p3d/
It is in alpha development, and not completely documented.
