What do you call the value you get from a regression equation?

24 Views Asked by At

Say I have 2 sets of data which I perform a linear regression on, now I have a regression equation in the form y=mx+b (for example).

Now lets say when x = 1, the observed/real value of y = 1.

So now if I use the linear regression to find a value for y when x = 1, the ____ value of y ≈ 1


Out of curiosity, is there a 'formal' word that would go in the blank? 'Expected' or 'Calculated' maybe?
