Definition that contains regress
  • rectilinear regression the relation between variables when the regression equation is linear: e.g., y = ax + b
  • regression line a smooth curve fitted to the set of paired data in regression analysis; for linear regression the curve is a straight line
  • linear regression the relation between variables when the regression equation is linear: e.g., y = ax + b
  • regression analysis the use of regression to make quantitative predictions of one variable from the values of another
  • multicollinearity a case of multiple regression in which the predictor variables are themselves highly correlated
  • regression coefficient when the regression line is linear (y = ax + b) the regression coefficient is the constant (a) that represents the rate of change of one variable (y) as a function of changes in the other (x); it is the slope of the regression line
  • hebephrenic suffering from a form of schizophrenia characterized by foolish mannerisms and senseless laughter along with delusions and regressive behavior
  • predictor variable a variable that can be used to predict the value of another variable (as in statistical regression)
