Example of Using Jacknife Techniques in Regression mainline

This macro is a simple example of using jackknife techniques to obtain the MSEs and coefficients from regression. For each iteration, a row of data is excluded, a regression analysis is performed on this reduced set of data, the MSE and coefficients are stored. The process is repeated for each row of data. All of the MSEs and coefficients for each iteration are displayed in a table.
