- Two types corresponding to the ``data = signal + noise'' paradigm.
- Prediction of just the signal or prediction that also includes the
noise.
- Prediction in the range of the data (interpolation) is pretty safe.
- Prediction out of the range of the data (extrapolation) is
extremely dangerous.
- Prediction for a new observation has 3 sources of uncertainty.
- The fit is not quite right - uncertainty in the true regression
line.
- There's variability about the regression line - noise.
- There is uncertainty because this may not be the correct model -
model misspecification.
