curvilinear trend

Etymology: L, curvus, bent, linea, line; AS, trendan, to turn

(in statistics) a trend in which a graphic representation of the data yields a curved line. The value of the independent variable may be expressed as a polynomial coefficient; by a more complete mathematic expression, such as a logistic curve; or by a smoothing process, such as a moving average.
