Maybe:
RegressionData data = Regressions.newRegressionData(double[][] y, double[] x);
RegressionData data = Regressions.newData(double[][] y, double[] x);
?
Note that the idea that either the x or y of the RegressionData may want to be
changed was also raised. This could use a Builder pattern:
RegressionData data = Regressions.newDataBuilder()
.setY(double[][] y)
.setX(double[] x)
.build();
Or some variant of. Something for the future.
