Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bivariate regression is the statistical method that derives a mathematical equation in the form of a straight line between a single metric criterion variable and a single metric predictor variable. Standard deviation measures the spread of data around the mean, standard error of the mean measures the precision of the mean estimate, analysis of variance tests for differences between two or more groups, and functional linear analysis deals with non-linear relationships between variables.
