Wiki

Regression is a common applied statistical technique and a cornerstone of machine learning. Various algorithms and software packages can be used to fit and use regression models.

In other words, regression is a statistical measure that attempts to determine the strength of the relationship between one dependent variable (usually denoted by Y) and a series of other changing variables (known as independent variables). Typically the dependent variables are modeled with probability distributions whose parameters are assumed to vary (deterministically) with the independent variables.
