/**
 * Estimates an ordinary least squares regression model
 * with one independent variable.
 * <p>
 * <code> y = intercept + slope * x  </code></p>
 * <p>
 * Standard errors for <code>intercept</code> and <code>slope</code> are
 * available as well as ANOVA, r-square and Pearson's r statistics.</p>
 * <p>
 * Observations (x,y pairs) can be added to the model one at a time or they
 * can be provided in a 2-dimensional array.  The observations are not stored
 * in memory, so there is no limit to the number of observations that can be
 * added to the model.</p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Usage Notes</strong>: <ul>
 * <li> When there are fewer than two observations in the model, or when
 * there is no variation in the x values (i.e. all x values are the same)
 * all statistics return <code>NaN</code>. At least two observations with
 * different x coordinates are required to estimate a bivariate regression
 * model.
 * </li>
 * <li> Getters for the statistics always compute values based on the current
 * set of observations -- i.e., you can get statistics, then add more data
 * and get updated statistics without using a new instance.  There is no
 * "compute" method that updates all statistics.  Each of the getters performs
 * the necessary computations to return the requested statistic.
 * </li>
 * <li> The intercept term may be suppressed by passing {@code false} to
 * the {@link #SimpleRegression(boolean)} constructor.  When the
 * {@code hasIntercept} property is false, the model is estimated without a
 * constant term and {@link #getIntercept()} returns {@code 0}.</li>
 * </ul></p>
