• curvilinear regression (noun)
  1. quadratic or higher order statistics the relation between variables when the regression equation is nonlinear
• linear regression (noun)
  1. statistics the relation between variables when the regression equation is linear: e.g., y = axe + b
• multiple regression (noun)
  1. statistics a statistical technique that predicts values of one variable on the basis of two or more other variables
• rectilinear regression (noun)
  1. statistics the relation between variables when the regression equation is linear: e.g., y = axe + b
• regression analysis (noun)
  1. statistics the use of regression to make quantitative predictions of one variable from the values of another
• regression coefficient (noun)
  1. x y a y = axe + b statistics when the regression line is linear the regression coefficient is the constant that represents the rate of change of one variable as a function of changes in the other ; it is the slope of the regression line
• regression curve (noun)
  1. statistics a smooth curve fitted to the set of paired data in regression analysis; for linear regression the curve is a straight line
• regression equation (noun)
  1. y x statistics the equation representing the relation between selected values of one variable and observed values of the other ; it permits the prediction of the most probable values of y
• regression line (noun)
  1. statistics a smooth curve fitted to the set of paired data in regression analysis; for linear regression the curve is a straight line
• regression of y on x (noun)
  1. y x statistics the equation representing the relation between selected values of one variable and observed values of the other ; it permits the prediction of the most probable values of y
