English term or phrase: linear regression
Definition from Department of Statistics - Yale University:
Linear regression attempts to model the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data. One variable is considered to be an explanatory variable, and the other is considered to be a dependent variable.

Example sentence(s):
  • A robust linear regression based algorithm was developed to automate the evaluation of peptide identifications obtained from shotgun proteomic experiments. Incob Taiwan 2008
  • In a cause and effect relationship, the independent variable is the cause, and the dependent variable is the effect. Least squares linear regression is a method for predicting the value of a dependent variable Y, based on the value of an independent variable X. Stat Trek
  • In order to introduce the concepts underlying multiple linear regression, it is necessary to be familiar with and understand the basic theory of simple linear regression on which it is based. British Dental Journal

lineárna regresia


Definition from Healthnet.sk:
Cieľom regresnej analýzy je vyšetriť vzťah dvoch a viacerých premenných, spoznať pravdepodobnú formu tohto vzťahu a odhadnúť, resp. predpovedať hodnotu odpovedajúcu inej hodnote.

V prípade dvoch premenných, hovoríme o jednoduchom lineárnom regresnom modele:

X - nezávislá premenná

výskumník plne rozhoduje o hodnotách tejto premennej. Jednej hodnote X odpovedá jedna, alebo niekoľko hodnôt Y. Často to býva čas, ale môže to byť akákoľvek iná veličina, ktorá sa mení nezávisle od výsledku procesu.

Y - závislá premenná

jej hodnota závisí od modelu. Inými slovami, medzi nezávislou premennou a závislou premennou jestvuje lineárny vzťah, ktorý hovorí, ako sa zmení hodnota závislej premennej pre zmene nezávislej premennej.

Example sentence(s):
  • Metóda je založená na lineárnej regresii a extrapolácii na štandardné klimatické podmienky 3422 K.deň. Stanoví sa rovnica regresnej priamky Q=a.Dt+b s parametrami "a", "b" a s premennou počtom dennostupňov Dt. - http://energie.tzb-info.cz/t.py?t=2&i=59
