SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Regression
A mathematical technique used to explain and-or predict. The general form is Y = a + bX + u, where Y is the variable that we are trying to predict; X is the variable that we are using to predict Y, a is the intercept; b is the slope, and u is the regression residual. The a and b are chosen in a way to minimize the squared sum of the residuals. The ability to fit or explain is measured by the R-square.
Regression analysis
A statistical technique that can be used to estimate relationships between variables.
Regression coefficient
Term yielded by regression analysis that indicates the sensitivity of the dependent variable to a particular independent variable.
Regression equation
An equation that describes the average relationship between a dependent variable and a set of explanatory variables.
Regression toward the mean
The tendency that a random variable will ultimately have a value closer to its mean value.
Regressive taxation

Regular settlement
Transaction in which a stock contract is settled and delivered on the fifth full business day following the date of the transaction (trade date). In Japan, regular settlement occurs three business days following the trade date; in London, two weeks following the trade date (at times, three weeks); in France, once per month.
Regular way settlement
In the money and bond markets, the standard basis on which some security trades are settled is that the delivery of the securities purchased is made against payment in Fed funds on the day following the transaction.
Regular way trade
A type of trade that is settled through the regular settlement cycle required for the particular investment being traded.
