| Model T | the first widely available automobile powered by a gasoline engine, mass-produced by Henry Ford fromto |
| model | a type of product, his car was an old model |
model
theoretical account
framework | a hypothetical description of a complex entity or process, the computer program was based on a model of the circulatory and respiratory systems |
exemplar
example model good example | something to be imitated, an exemplar of success, a model of clarity, he is the very model of a modern major general |

regression
simple regression
regression toward the mean
statistical 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) |
multiple regression
multiple correlation | a statistical technique that predicts values of one variable on the basis of two or more other variables |
| regression analysis | the use of regression to make quantitative predictions of one variable from the values of another |
regression equation
regression of y on x | the equation representing the relation between selected values of one variable (x) and observed values of the other (y), it permits the prediction of the most probable values of y |
| regression coefficient | when the regression line is linear (y axb) 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 |
linear regression
rectilinear regression | the relation between variables when the regression equation is linear: e.g., y axb |
| curvilinear regression | the relation between variables when the regression equation is nonlinear (quadratic or higher order) |
regression line
regression curve | a smooth curve fitted to the set of paired data in regression analysis, for linear regression the curve is a straight line |
