Definitions:

Coefficient Of Determination

A statistical measure, often represented as R^2, indicating the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variables.

Least Squares Line

A straight line that minimizes the sum of the squared differences between observed values and values predicted by the line.

API Gravity

A measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water, used in the oil industry.

Regression Line

A line through a scatterplot of data points that best expresses the relationship between those points, often used in predicting outcomes.
