Returns the standard error of the predicted y-value for each x in the regression. The standard error is a measure of the amount of error in the prediction of y for an individual x.
Syntax
STEYX(known_y's,known_x's)
Known_y's is an array or range of dependent data points.
Known_x's is an array or range of independent data points.
Remarks
- The arguments must be either numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
- If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored; however, cells with the value zero are included.
- If known_y's and known_x's are empty or have a different number of data points, STEYX returns the #N/A error value.
- The equation for the standard error of the predicted y is:
