class ANCOVA extends Predictor with Error
The ANCOVA class supports ANalysis of COVAriance (ANCOVA). It allows
the addition of a categorical treatment variable 't' into a multiple linear
regression. This is done by introducing dummy variables 'dj' to distinguish
the treatment level. The problem is again to fit the parameter vector 'b'
in the augmented regression equation
y = b dot x + e = b0 + b_1 * x_1 + b_2 * x_2 + ... b_k * x_k + b_k+1 * d_1 + b_k+2 * d_2 + ... b_k+l * d_l + e
where 'e' represents the residuals (the part not explained by the model). Use Least-Squares (minimizing the residuals) to fit the parameter vector
b = x_pinv * y
where 'x_pinv' is the pseudo-inverse.

Compute the Variance Inflation Factor 'VIF' for each variable to test for multi-collinearity by regressing 'xj' against the rest of the variables. A VIF over 10 indicates that over 90% of the variance of 'xj' can be predicted from the other variables, so 'xj' is a candidate for removal from the model.
