A line drawn through the points in a scatter diagram. It yields the best prediction of one variable when given the value of the other variable.
A straight line used as a best approximation of a summary of all the points in a scatter-plot* (See definition below). The position and slope of the line are determined by the amount of correlation* (See definition above) between the two paired variables involved in generating the scatter-plot. This line can be used to make predictions about the value of one of the paired variables if only the other value in the pair is known.
a line plotted on a scatter plot of data (using a least-squares method) which is `closest to most points' of the plot.
a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot
The line that fits a set of data points with the smallest value for the sum of the squares of the errors (vertical distances) from the data points to the line. Also called the regression line.
a line drawn on a scatter plot to estimate the relationship between two sets of data.
A straight line drawn through or near to as many data points as possible on a scatterplot.
(... trendLine) Single line drawn through a series of data points as a best representation of the underlying trend. Can be a straight line or a curve.
