## Regression to the mean
* These phenomena are all examples of so-called regression to the mean
* Invented by Francis Galton in the paper "Regression towvards mediocrity in hereditary stature" The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland , Vol. 15, (1886).
* Invented by Francis Galton in the paper "Regression towards mediocrity in hereditary stature" The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland , Vol. 15, (1886).
