Au bout d’un laps de temps, variable selon les situations, la moyenne de cette caractéristique de l'échantillon se sera rapprochée de la moyenne de la population(on dit qu'il y a régression vers la moyenne) ;ce phénomène, découvert par Galton au siècle dernier, est purement statistique, mais il conduit à diagnostiquer une amélioration quand cette caractéristique est prise comme critère, ou quand elle entre dans la définition de la maladie. 1, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9gression%20vers%20la%20moyenne
