linear regression

GBK English to Chinese Science Mathematics & Statistics
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 sentences:
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)

线性回归

Taking a course in basic statistics often makes translation of such topics much easier.
Definition from own experience or research:
线性回归指通过在观察到的数据之间建立线性方程,为两个变量的关系建立模型。一个变量被认为是解释变量(自变量),另一个是依赖变量(因变量)。回归分析预测法中最简单和最常用的是线性回归预测法。
Example sentences:
  所谓线性回归模型就是指因变量和自变量之间的关系是直线型的。   回归分析预测法中最简单和最常用的是线性回归预测法。   回归分析是对客观事物数量依存关系的分析.是数理统计中的一个常用的方法.是处理多个变量之间相互关系的一种数学方法. (MBA智库)
