Predictions from Multiple Linear Regression

Use this to predict the value for a future observation based on the current fitted linear regression model.

List of explanatory variates

Lists all the explanatory variables in the current regression model along with the value to predict the response variable from. You can change the values to predict the response variable from by either double-clicking on an explanatory variable name or by selecting the names and clicking the Change values button.

Change values

Opens a window that lets you change the values of the currently selected explanatory variables.

Include variance of future observation

Specifies whether you want the variance of predictions to be calculated on the basis of forecasting new observations. The default is for the variance of predictions to be calculated on the basis of summarizing the data to which the data has been fitted.

Specifies which items of output are to be produced.

Predictions	Predictions
Description	Describes the standardization policies used when forming predictions
Standard errors	Standard errors of predictions
Standard error of differences	Standard error of differences between predictions
LSDs	Least significant differences between predictions (for ordinary linear regression models or GLMs with Normal distribution only). The LSD significance level (%) can be specified in the space provided.
Confidence limits for predictions	Confidence limits for each prediction. The confidence level (%) can be specified in the space provided.

Plot table of predictions

If this is selected, the predictions will be plotted. The Options button opens the Plot table of predictions dialog which controls how the predictions are plotted.
