Linear regression, a Rare card
In statistics, linear regression is a model that estimates the relationship between a scalar response and one or more explanatory variables related via a linear combination.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A linear model with exactly one explanatory variable is a simple linear regression, a model with two or more explanatory variables is a multiple linear regression.
- In linear regression, the relationships are modeled using linear predictor functions whose unknown model parameters are estimated from the data.
- Most commonly, the conditional mean of the response given the values of the explanatory variables is assumed to be an affine function of those values, less commonly, the conditional median or some other quantile is used.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Linear regression article was read about 280,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get Linear regression
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
