👉 In mathematics and statistics, a pivot is an element that is associated with a particular variable or parameter in a statistical model. A pivot is often used to summarize data, such as for regression analysis, where it can be a predictor or criterion variable. Pivots are important because they provide a convenient way of summarizing the relationships between variables and identifying whether there is a significant relationship between them. Pivot values are calculated by adding up all the observations in that column and dividing by the total number of observations
