[R] Std. errors of intercept and slope

Dear all,

I have the following output generated by linear regression. Since there is
only one regression intercept and one slope for one set of data, what is the

meaning of std. error for intercept and that of slope? Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Minghua

[R] Std. errors of intercept and slope

Since the intercept and slope are estimated parameters, they have 
sampling distributions described by their means and standard deviations.  
The s.d. tells you the size of the uncertainty in intercept & in slope.

  This is a pretty basic stats question -- you need to refer to a standard 
textbook or reference material ...

[R] Std. errors of intercept and slope

Thanks, Ben.

Could you tell me the formula for calculating this sd., given (x_i, y_i)
(i=1,2,...,N)?
We only have one intercept and slope for them.

Thanks, Mr. Graves.

See especially any discussion of "the matrix formulation of 
regression".  I'm sure this is in many books.  I'm not familiar
with the
recent literature, but I know it is in Draper and Smith, Applied 
Regression Analysis and Box, Hunter and Hunter, Statistics for 
Experimenters. 

Briefly, suppose we write the regression model as y = X b + e, where y 
and e are N x 1 vectors, X is an N x k matrix, and e is a vector of 
normal, independent errors with standard deviation s.e.  Then the least 
squares and maximum likelihood estimate of b is

      b.hat = (inverse(X' X))*(X'y),

and the covariance matrix for b.hat is

      var(b.hat) = s.e^2 * inverse(X'X). 

I apologize if this is too terse for you;  if so, please see any good 
book on regress. 

hope this helps.  spencer graves
