A note mostly about terminology: The least squares model will produce unbiassed predictions of y given x, i.e. predictions for which the average error is zero. This is the usual technical definition of unbiassed in statistics, but may not correspond to common usage. Whether x is a noisy measurement or not is sort of irrelevant to this -- you make the prediction with the information you have. | ||
