All Implemented Interfaces:

UpdatingMultipleLinearRegression, Serializable
```
public class SimpleRegression
extends Object
implements Serializable, UpdatingMultipleLinearRegression
```
Estimates an ordinary least squares regression model with one independent variable.
y = intercept + slope * x

Standard errors for intercept and slope are available as well as ANOVA, r-square and Pearson's r statistics.

Observations (x,y pairs) can be added to the model one at a time or they can be provided in a 2-dimensional array. The observations are not stored in memory, so there is no limit to the number of observations that can be added to the model.

Usage Notes:
- When there are fewer than two observations in the model, or when there is no variation in the x values (i.e. all x values are the same) all statistics return NaN. At least two observations with different x coordinates are required to estimate a bivariate regression model.
- Getters for the statistics always compute values based on the current set of observations -- i.e., you can get statistics, then add more data and get updated statistics without using a new instance. There is no "compute" method that updates all statistics. Each of the getters performs the necessary computations to return the requested statistic.
- The intercept term may be suppressed by passing false to the SimpleRegression(boolean) constructor. When the hasIntercept property is false, the model is estimated without a constant term and getIntercept() returns 0.

- Constructor Detail
  - SimpleRegression
```
public SimpleRegression()
```
    Create an empty SimpleRegression instance
  - SimpleRegression
```
public SimpleRegression(boolean includeIntercept)
```
    Create a SimpleRegression instance, specifying whether or not to estimate an intercept.
    Use false to estimate a model with no intercept. When the hasIntercept property is false, the model is estimated without a constant term and getIntercept() returns 0.
    
    Parameters:
    
    includeIntercept - whether or not to include an intercept term in the regression model
- Method Detail
  - addData
```
public void addData(double x,
                    double y)
```
    Adds the observation (x,y) to the regression data set.
    Uses updating formulas for means and sums of squares defined in "Algorithms for Computing the Sample Variance: Analysis and Recommendations", Chan, T.F., Golub, G.H., and LeVeque, R.J. 1983, American Statistician, vol. 37, pp. 242-247, referenced in Weisberg, S. "Applied Linear Regression". 2nd Ed. 1985.
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - independent variable value
    
    y - dependent variable value
  - removeData
```
public void removeData(double x,
                       double y)
```
    Removes the observation (x,y) from the regression data set.
    Mirrors the addData method. This method permits the use of SimpleRegression instances in streaming mode where the regression is applied to a sliding "window" of observations, however the caller is responsible for maintaining the set of observations in the window.
    The method has no effect if there are no points of data (i.e. n=0)
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - independent variable value
    
    y - dependent variable value
  - addData
```
public void addData(double[][] data)
```
    Adds the observations represented by the elements in data.
    (data[0][0],data[0][1]) will be the first observation, then (data[1][0],data[1][1]), etc.
    
    This method does not replace data that has already been added. The observations represented by data are added to the existing dataset.
    
    To replace all data, use clear() before adding the new data.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - array of observations to be added
    
    Throws:
    
    ModelSpecificationException - if the length of data[i] is not greater than or equal to 2
  - addObservation
```
public void addObservation(double[] x,
                           double y)
```
    Adds one observation to the regression model.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addObservation in interface UpdatingMultipleLinearRegression
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - the independent variables which form the design matrix
    
    y - the dependent or response variable
    
    Throws:
    
    ModelSpecificationException - if the length of x does not equal the number of independent variables in the model
  - addObservations

public void addObservations(double[][] x,
                            double[] y)

  - removeData
```
public void removeData(double[][] data)
```
    Removes observations represented by the elements in data.
    If the array is larger than the current n, only the first n elements are processed. This method permits the use of SimpleRegression instances in streaming mode where the regression is applied to a sliding "window" of observations, however the caller is responsible for maintaining the set of observations in the window.
    
    To remove all data, use clear().
    
    Parameters:

  - getSumSquaredErrors
```
public double getSumSquaredErrors()
```
    Returns the sum of squared errors (SSE) associated with the regression model.
