| skew | Skew |
Skewness
is
a
measure
of
the
asymmetry
of
the
probability
distribution
of
a
real-valued
random
variable
about
its
mean.
The
skewness
value
can
be
positive
or
negative,
or
even
undefined.

| regression | Regression |
Linear
regression
is
an
approach
for
modeling
two-dimensional
sample
points
with
one
independent
variable
and
one
dependent
variable
(conventionally,
the
x
and
y
coordinates
in
a
Cartesian
coordinate
system)
and
finds
a
linear
function
(a
non-vertical
straight
line)
that,
as
accurately
as
possible,
predicts
the
dependent
variable
values
as
a
function
of
the
independent
variables.
