The documentation (for Nonlinear Regress) says that CI is confidence
interval. SE is standard error, but you'll need to go to documentation for
LinearRegress to see this (or else guess it). Alternatively, chase the
(three provided) references down until you find definitions. If that
dosen't work, try Google.
As to not understanding the documentation .... I've found it useful to work
through the examples in detail. Type & evaluate each command in the example
in sequence, rather than copy & paste. After you've done this, repeat the
process with your own data.
Regards,
Dave.
