Can I calculate prediction intervals in scikit-learn for a linear model without bootstrapping? [duplicate]
I'd like to produce 95% prediction intervals along with predictions from my model. I'm using a moderately large dataset and making thousands of predictions, so I was wondering if there was some way ...

Variance of a predicted $y$ when $x_0$ is given? [duplicate]
I cannot figure out why the variance of a prediction of $y$, when given $x_0$ is
$$\sigma^2\bigg(1+\frac 1 n +\frac{(x_0-\bar x)^2}{Sxx}\bigg)$$
Isn't this the variance of a prediction error?

How to obtain the equation of a predictive interval around the regression line in R? [duplicate]
I have a some data set on which I fit a linear regression model using the lm function in R. I can also visually obtain the prediction Interval around that regression line using predict. My question is ...

What is the difference between estimation and prediction?
For example, I have historical loss data and I am calculating extreme quantiles (Value-at-Risk or Probable Maximum Loss). The results obtained is for estimating the loss or predicting them? Where can ...

Obtaining a formula for prediction limits in a linear model (i.e.: prediction intervals)
Let's take the following example:
set.seed(342)
x1 <- runif(100)
x2 <- runif(100)
y <- x1+x2 + 2*x1*x2 + rnorm(100)
fit <- lm(y~x1*x2)
This creates a ...

Prediction and Tolerance Intervals
I have a couple of questions for prediction and tolerance intervals.
Let's agree on the definition of the tolerance intervals first: We are given a confidence level, say 90%, the percentage of the ...

Why does the standard error of the intercept increase the further $\bar x$ is from 0?
The standard error of the intercept term ($\hat{\beta}_0$) in $y=\beta_1x+\beta_0+\varepsilon$ is given by $$SE(\hat{\beta}_0)^2 = \sigma^2\left[\frac{1}{n}+\frac{\bar{x}^2}{\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar{x})^...

Gaussian process prediction interval
How can the prediction interval of a Gaussian process be evaluated? I don't know how to estimate this interval though I can find a 95 % confidence interval for the mean line.

Confidence Interval on a random quantity?
Suppose $\vec{a}$ is an unknown $p$-vector, and one observes $\vec{b} \sim \mathcal{N}\left(\vec{a}, I\right)$. I would like to compute confidence intervals on the random quantity $\vec{b}^{\top} \...

What is the best way to extrapolate when working with a linear regression model?
There's not much more to ask than what I've written in the title.
Some of the values I want to predict are outside of the range used to build the regression model.

Can we make probabilistic statements with prediction intervals?
I've read through the many excellent discussions on the site regarding interpretation of confidence intervals and prediction intervals, but one concept is still a bit puzzling:
Consider the OLS ...
