👉 Approximatively is a phrase used in mathematics and statistics to describe an estimate or approximation of a given quantity. It refers to any method, procedure, or calculation that tries to reach an approximate value without actually obtaining it directly from the data. This can be done using various methods such as estimation, interpolation, regression analysis, and others. For example, in economics, if you have data on the demand for a certain product over time, you might use an approximation method like linear regression or polynomial regression
