A linear regression is a
line that best fits data
that is either
increasing or
decreasing.
A quadratic regression is a
parabola that best fits
data that increases and
then decreases or
decreases then increases.
A cubic regression best fits
A quartic regression best fits data
that changes direction three
times and the ends of the data
point in the same direction.
