#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)
  part of:  #statistics
  subtype:  #method_of_least_squares__least_squares__leastsquare  a method of fitting a curve to data points so as to minimize the sum of the squares of the distances of the points from the curve
  subtype:  #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)
     subtype:  #linear_regression__rectilinear_regression__rectilinearregression  the relation between variables when the regression equation is linear: e.g., y = ax + b
     subtype:  #curvilinear_regression__curvilinearregression  the relation between variables when the regression equation is nonlinear (quadratic or higher order)
  subtype:  #multiple_regression  a statistical technique that predicts values of one variable on the basis of two or more other variables
  subtype:  #regression_analysis  the use of regression to make quantitative predictions of one variable from the values of another
  subtype:  #correlational_analysis  the use of statistical correlation to evaluate the strength of the relations between variables
  subtype:  #analysis_of_variance__ANOVA  a statistical method for making simultaneous comparisons between two or more means; a statistical method that yields values that can be tested to determine whether a significant relation exists between variables
