term "regression" was coined by Francis Galton in the 19th century to describe a biological phenomenon. The phenomenon was that the heights of descendants of tall ancestors tend to regress down towards a normal average (a phenomenon also known as regression toward the mean).For Galton, regression had only this biological meaning, but his work was later extended by Udny Yule and Karl Pearson
