A relationship in a statistical model where the change in the outcome variable does not follow a straight line, but rather a curve, as the value of the predictor variable changes.

Linear Relationships

Relationships between two variables that can be depicted with a straight line on a graph, indicating a constant rate of change.

Structural Equation Modeling

Statistical techniques that are used to evaluate a proposed set of relationships among variables.
