Simple Linear Regression - A statistical technique that measures the relationship between an independent (predictor) variable and a dependent (outcome) variable. In doing so, a straight line is fitted to a set of data points to measure the effect of a single data variable. Simple Linear Regression is a method of organising historical data and is commonly used in stocks and shares trading to predict the way in which a stock will move at a future time.
