LINEAR INTERCEPT SD

Name:
    LINEAR INTERCEPT SD (LET)
Type:
    Let Subcommand
Purpose:
    Compute the standard deviation of the intercept parameter from a linear least squares fit between two variables.
Syntax:
    LET <par> = LINEAR INTERCEPT SD <y> <x>
                            <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
    where <y> is dependent response variable;
                <x> is the independent response variable;
                <par> is a parameter where the linear intercept sd value is saved;
    and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
Examples:
    LET A1 = LINEAR INTERCEPT SD Y X
    LET A1 = LINEAR INTERCEPT SD Y X SUBSET X > 1
