Definitions:

Curvilinear Regression

A type of regression analysis used in statistics to model the complex relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables when the relationship is not linear.

Independent Variable

A variable that is manipulated or controlled in an experiment to test its effect on a dependent variable, helping researchers understand cause-and-effect relationships.

Forecasting

The act of making educated guesses about future occurrences based on patterns, trends, and data analysis.

Curvilinear Relationship

A relationship between two variables where the change in one variable does not consistently result in a proportional change in the other, often depicted as a curved graph.
