- Third Party Resource Title: Using Regression Models to make Predictions
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/teaching_computation/workshop_2019/activities/231073.html
- Description: This activity introduces students to prediction and confidence intervals for a simple linear regression model using a MATLAB Live Script. To draw a connection to confidence intervals for an unknown population mean, the activity begins with an explanation of how the true regression line is simply a line of average values. The concept of a point estimate and confidence interval for the mean response E[Y] is explained mathematically and illustrated graphically as well as the concept of a prediction, prediction error, and prediction interval for a new observation Yi. At the conclusion of the activity, the student will understand the key differences between confidence intervals and prediction intervals for simple linear regression models.
