Centered Moving Average is a calculation used to smooth out data series by averaging consecutive subsets of data points centered around each point, often used in time series analysis.

Least Squares

A mathematical method used in regression analysis to find the best-fitting line through a set of data points by minimizing the sum of the squares of the vertical distances of the points from the line.

Time-Series Data

Data points collected or recorded at time intervals, allowing analysis of patterns, trends, and forecasting.

Trend Equation

A mathematical formula that fits a line to a set of data points in a way that best expresses the relationship and tendency over time.
