Predicting a New Response
Recall the regression model y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + · · · + βkxk + ǫ = x′β + ǫ, and the estimated mean response at x0: ˆ y (x0) = x′
0ˆ
β. To predict a single new response at x0, we still use ˆ y (x0) as the best predictor, but the mean squared prediction error is σ2 1 + x′
0 (X′X)−1 x0
