Intercept
The intercept is defined as the value of a variable, Y, when a line or curve cuts through the y-axis. In a two-dimensional graph, the intercept is therefore the value of Y when X is zero. The units of the intercept are the same as the units of Y.
There are problems with the interpretation of intercepts in REGRESSION contexts: The zero value of the X variable often lies outside ...
