What is the difference between regression and distribution?
In regression, we choose the functional relationship that we assume for the variables, while when fitting the distribution, the relationship is governed by the choice of the distribution (e.g. in multivariate normal distribution, it is governed by by the covariance matrix).
What is the difference between correlation and simple linear regression?
A correlation analysis provides information on the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables, while a simple linear regression analysis estimates parameters in a linear equation that can be used to predict values of one variable based on the other.

How is regression used to estimate the relationship between two variables?
Regression allows you to estimate how a dependent variable changes as the independent variable (s) change. Simple linear regression is used to estimate the relationship between two quantitative variables. You can use simple linear regression when you want to know:
How is a linear regression different from a logistic regression?
Regression models describe the relationship between variables by fitting a line to the observed data. Linear regression models use a straight line, while logistic and nonlinear regression models use a curved line. Regression allows you to estimate how a dependent variable changes as the independent variable (s) change.
What makes the regression line different from the straight line?
The regression line does not go through every point; instead it balances the difference between all data points and the straight-line model. The difference between the observed data value and the predicted value (the value on the straight line) is the error or residual.
