The user is attempting to format a LaTeX expression for an estimator, specifically wanting to combine a caret (^) with an index (i) in the expression y^ and y_i. They successfully format the indexed variable as y_i but struggle with the estimator notation. Suggestions include using the LaTeX command \hat to correctly display the estimator as \hat{y}_i. The conversation revolves around finding the correct syntax to avoid mangling the expression in LaTeX. Proper formatting is essential for clarity in mathematical expressions.

How to write Latex for ##y_i## with a caret , i.e., y^_i?
Hi,
Trying to Latex in an estimator y^ together with an index, y_i . The latter is obvious as ##y_i##, but I can't get the estimator ^ without mangling it all.
Any ideas?
