regression line
any line that goes through the means (or averages) of the set of observations for an independent variable and its dependent variables; mathematically, there is a line of "best fit, ...
regression line
The best fitting line through a series of points as determined by the least-squares method.

Regression line
Definition: A regression line is a line drawn through the points on a scatterplot to summarise the relationship between the variables being studied.
Regression line
A regression line is a line fitted to an array of plotted points. The slope of the line, denoted by the letter b in the linear equation Y = a + bX, represents the average variable cost per unit of activity.
The slope of the regression line is a security's beta. Characteristic portfolioA portfolio which efficiently represents a particular asset characteristic.
Aline connecting the average dots, called the regression line, would reveal the degree of correlation between the two factors by showing the amount of unexplained variation-represented by the dots falling outside the line.
The expectations-augmented Phillips curve is the straight line that best fits the points on the graph (the regression line). It summarizes the rough inverse relationship. According to the regression line, NAIRU (i.e.
In calculating the revenue per share growth rate, we calculate the slope of the regression line of historical revenue per share. We then divide the slope of the regression line by the arithmetic average of historical revenue per share figures.
It is the slope of the regression line, known as the CHARACTERISTIC LINE, which shows the relationship of an ASSET with the market. For measuring market returns, a proxy such as a broad-based index is used.
R-Squared
Statistical measure of how well a regression line approximates real data points; an r-squared of 1.0 (100%) indicates a perfect fit. The formula for r is: r(X,Y) = [ Cov(X,Y) ] / [ StdDev(X) x StdDev(Y) ] ...
A "square" is determined by squaring the distance between a data point and the regression line. The least squares approach limits the distance between a function and the data points that a function is trying to explain.
The market model applied to a single security; a regression of security returns on the benchmark return. The slope of the regression line is a security's beta.

A statistical technique used in modern stock portfolio analysis to compare returns on a particular stock or particular portfolio of stocks with the returns for a larger group of stocks or an index of stocks. The slope of the resulting regression line ...
Characteristic line
The market model applied to a single security; a regression of security returns on the benchmark return. The slope of the regression line is a security's beta.
of association that exists between two variables, dependent and independent variables or in other way the coefficient of determination is developed to measure the amount of variation in dependent variable that is explained by the regression line.
