#curvilinear_regression__curvilinearregression  the relation between variables when the regression equation is nonlinear (quadratic or higher order)
  supertype:  regression_toward_the_mean__regression__simple_regression  the relation between selected values of x and observed values of y (from which the most probable value of y can be predicted for any value of x)
     supertype:  statistical_method__statisticalmethod  a method of analyzing or representing statistical data
        supertype:  method  a way of doing something, esp. a systematic one; implies an orderly logical arrangement (usually in steps)
           supertype:  know-how  the (technical) knowledge and skill required to do something
              supertype:  ability.cognition  possession of the qualities (especially mental qualities) required to do something or get something done; "danger heightened his powers of discrimination"
                 supertype:  cognition__knowledge__noesis  the psychological result of perception and learning and reasoning
                    supertype:  psychological_feature__psychologicalfeature  a feature of the mental life of a living organism
                       supertype:  psychological_entity__psychologicalentity  feature/product of mental activity, e.g., feeling
                          supertype:  non_spatial_object_playing_some_role
                             supertype:  non_spatial_object__nonspatialobject  abstraction or description content/medium/container (a description medium that has some spatial feature is both instance of sumo#object and pm#non_spatial_object
                                supertype:  entity  something that can be "involved" in a situation
                                   supertype:  thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else  any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
                                supertype:  intangible  The collection of things that are not physical -- are not made of, or encoded in, matter. Every cyc#Collection is a cyc#intangible (even if its instances are tangible), and so are some cyc#individuals.  Caution: do not confuse `tangibility' with `perceivability' -- humans can perceive light even though it's intangible--at least in a sense.
                                   supertype:  partially_intangible__partiallyintangible  The collection of things that either are wholly intangible (see cyc#Intangible) or have at least one intangible (i.e. immaterial) part (see cyc#intangibleParts). This includes intangible individuals, such as instances of cyc#Number-General  or cyc#Agreement, as well as non-individuals (all of which are intangible), i.e. instances of cyc#SetOrCollection.  It also includes things that have both tangible and intangible components (see cyc#CompositeTangibleAndIntangibleObject),  such as a printed copy of a newspaper (as its information content is intangible) or a person (as her mental states are intangible).
                                      supertype:  thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else  any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
                          supertype:  abstract__entity_without_spatial_feature  e.g., knowledge, motivation, measure; properties or qualities as distinguished from any particular embodiment of the properties/qualities in a physical medium; instances of sumo#abstract can be said to exist in the same sense as mathematical objects such as sets and relations, but they cannot exist at a particular place or time without some physical encoding or embodiment
                             supertype:  non_spatial_object__nonspatialobject  abstraction or description content/medium/container (a description medium that has some spatial feature is both instance of sumo#object and pm#non_spatial_object
                       supertype:  thing_that_can_be_seen_as_a_relation  usable as relation type
                          supertype:  thing_playing_some_role  category to classify things according to roles/viewpoints; classification under this category is application-dependant
                             supertype:  thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else  any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
