Explanation
The concept and term 'regression' were first coined by Sir Francis Galton while studying the relationship between parents' heights and their offspring's heights. Although other statisticians like Neyman, Fisher, and Pearson contributed significantly to statistics, the origin of the term is credited to Galton.
