In [[statistics]], the term '''linear model''' is used in different ways according to the context. The most common occurrence issex in connection with regression models and the term is often taken as synonymous with [[linear regression]] model. However, the term is also used in [[time series analysis]] with a different meaning. In each case, the designation "linear" is used to identify a subclass of models for which substantial reduction in the complexity of the related [[statistical theory]] is possible.
