I would agree that a more LaTeX approach would be easiest, but I
usually find myself needing to add, or remove, an \overline{}
decoration, which is easier for me in the gooey fashion.  The only
problem with using LaTeX directly is that LyX puts you in that box, and
you have to know to get out of it.

You have to be just a little careful.  You can either enter the x, then
highlight it and add in the \hat from the menu, then get out of that
box and enter the _i, or you can enter the x_i, highlight the x only,
and choose the \hat from the menu.  Since I don't always remember
quickly all of the commands for such decorations, it's easier for me to
do this than to use the keystrokes.

In math type \hat[return key]. You will get a box. Type x. Get out of the box. 
Type _i.

A _pure_ LyX method is to select the hat box from the frame 
decorations menu, enter the ‘x’, leave the hat box, then select 
subscripts, and enter the ‘i’


But, really, I think that a mix of LaTeX and gooey LyX is a better way 
to go.  I'd probably use the method of Hal Kierstead.  Professor 
Johnson's second method is fine too.

I do
  \hatx_i
