linear regression, confidence limit and forward selection

Hello together,

I'm just beginning with rapid miner on some (for me) well known data, and several questions occur to me.

1. Assume numerical data with one label, on which a regression is performed. Is there a way to give a confidence or prediction interval for each predicted label? And if so, how can I get it?

2.
I am applying forward selection with linear regression as learner two times to a (purely numerical) example set. First time with the inner operators "linear regression -> apply model -> performance" as inner operators for the forward selection, and then with a X-validation in the forward selection. Inside the X-validation I have again linear regression as learner and apply model + performance as testing. The results in the performance vectors are slightly different as I expected, and each "method" produces an example set. The example set coming from the 'X-Validation-branch' does not contain predicted values in contrast to the one coming from the forward selection only with linear regression, although I would say, that the output of both coustructs in the forward selection is the same.
I can craete predicted values through another model application + performance after the X-Validation inside the forward selection, but I fear that this changes the result of the forward selection. What woud be a proper way to get predicted values of both methods?

I would highly appreciate if someone could give me a hint. Thank's in advance.

P.S. additionally the XML code:










<连接from_port = "训练" to_op = "线性回归sion (X-Val)" to_port="training set"/>















<参数键= " root_relative_squared_error”价值e="true"/>






































<参数键= " root_relative_squared_error”价值e="true"/>



















<连接from_port = "训练" to_op = "线性回归sion (2)" to_port="training set"/>


























<连接from_op = "用" from_port = "输出1”to_op="Forward Selection (Regression)" to_port="example set"/>

    Hi,
    there's currently no method available for the confidence or prediction interval modeling. In fact I don't know any method that will deliver this information...Does anyone?

    To your second question:
    The proper way is to use a X-Validation to estimate the performance. Otherwise you will test on the training exampleset. If you are going to get predictions after the forward selection, you will have to learn a model again and apply it separately on the subset that's the result of the forward selection.

    Greetings,
    Sebastian
