| linear regression |
Linear regression is a regression where the dependent variable is modelled as a linear combination of the dependent variables plus the error term. The simplest case is simple linear regression where there is only one dependent variable. Here the relationship is: y = a + bx + u, where a is a constant; b is the regression coefficient and u is the error or disturbance term.

A statistical technique for finding the best linear relationship between two numerical variables, x and y; the statistical evaluation of the significance of the estimated relationship is most reliable when y has a bell-shaped distribution (normal distribution)
