Analytics & History: 1st Regression Line

The first “Regression Line”

Men's average height 'up 11cm since 1870s'

Galton’s Notebook on Families & Height

X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 Y

we find that a 54-loci genomic profile explained 4–6% of the sex- and age-adjusted height variance

the Galtonian mid-parental prediction method explained 40% of the sex- and age-adjusted height variance

Mean

• Deviation between mean and an actual data point.

Calculating Standard Deviation - sd()
