predict.lm - standard error of predicted means?
...5 predict.lm(model,newdata=data.frame(x=c(10,20)),se.fit=T,interval="prediction")$se.fit 1 2 0.2708064 0.7254615 I was surprised to find that the standard errors returned were in fact the standard errors of the sampling distribution of Y_hat: sqrt(MSE(1/n + (x-x_bar)^2/SS_x)), not the standard errors of Y_new (predicted value): sqrt(MSE(1 + 1/n + (x-x_bar)^2/SS_x)). Is there a reason this quantity is called the "standard error of predicted means" if it doesn't relate to the prediction distribution? Turning to Neter et al.'s Applied Linear Statist...
