Multinomial logistic regression is known by a variety of other names, including polytomous LR, [2] [3] multiclass LR, softmax regression, multinomial logit (mlogit), the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) classifier, and the conditional maximum entropy model.
In statistics, ordinal regression, also called ordinal classification, is a type of regression analysis used for predicting an ordinal variable, i.e. a variable whose value exists on an arbitrary scale where only the relative ordering between different values is significant.
Developmental regression is when a child who has reached a certain developmental stage begins to lose previously acquired milestones. [1] It differs from global developmental delay in that a child experiencing developmental delay is either not reaching developmental milestones or not progressing to new developmental milestones, while a child experiencing developmental regression will lose ...

In statistical genetics, linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSR [1] or LDSC [2]) is a technique that aims to quantify the separate contributions of polygenic effects and various confounding factors, such as population stratification, based on summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWASs).
