Fit Mean<br />

Fit Mean<br />

Using the Fit Mean comm<strong>and</strong>, you can add a horizontal line to the scatterplot that represents the mean of<br />

the Y response variable. You can start by fitting the mean <strong>and</strong> then use the mean line as a reference for other<br />

fits (such as straight lines, confidence curves, polynomial curves, <strong>and</strong> so on).<br />

Fit Mean Report<br />

The Fit Mean report shows summary statistics about the fit of the mean.<br />

Mean<br />

Std Dev [RMSE]<br />

Std Error<br />

SSE<br />

Mean of the response variable. The predicted response when there are no specified<br />

effects in the model.<br />

St<strong>and</strong>ard deviation of the response variable. Square root of the mean square error,<br />

also called the root mean square error (or RMSE).<br />

St<strong>and</strong>ard deviation of the response mean. Calculated by dividing the RMSE by the<br />

square root of the number of values.<br />

Error sum of squares for the simple mean model. Appears as the sum of squares for<br />

Error in the analysis of variance tables for each model fit.<br />
