Hi Dimitri, I'm obviously missing something in my litterature review. I did a new MC simulation, with a much smaller number of observation points (namely 3, to fit a straight line!!!). It turns out that the formula you are advocating for is the best estimate of the standard deviation of the parameters. Could you please explain why this fomula differs from formulas (34) and (35) in http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LeastSquaresFitting.html?
I hope I'm not bothering you too much. I really would like to understand, so that we could write an accurate javadoc and possibly rename the method appropriately.
