| 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.

| kurtosis | Kurtosis |
Kurtosis
is
a
measure
of
the
"tailedness"
of
the
probability
distribution
of
a
real-valued
random
variable.

| 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.

See the full registry of value sets defined as part of FHIR.
Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information |
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') |
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding ). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
