From which it follows that the standard deviations of x and y, and the
covariance of x,y are given, respectively, by

Also, the sample correlation coefficient is

Prediction error
The regression curve of Y on x is defined as Y = Α + Β⋅x + ε. If we have a set
of n data points (x
i
, y
i
), then we can write Y
i
= Α + Β⋅x
i
+ ε
I
, (i = 1,2,…,n),
where Y
i
= independent, normally distributed random variables with mean (Α +
Β⋅x
i
) and the common variance σ

; ε
i
= independent, normally distributed
random variables with mean zero and the common variance σ

.
Let y
i
= actual data value,
^
y
i
= a + b⋅x
i
= least-square prediction of the data.
Then, the prediction error is: e

An estimate of σ

is the, so-called, standard error of the estimate,
