As nouns,
parametric statistic is a hypernym of
regression coefficient; that is,
parametric statistic is a
word with a broader meaning than
regression coefficient:
- regression coefficient: when the regression line is linear (y = ax + b) the regression coefficient is the constant (a) that represents the rate of change of one variable (y) as a function of changes in the other (x); it is the slope of the regression line
- parametric statistic: any statistic computed by procedures that assume the data were drawn from a particular distribution
