Amusing statistical term

I love the name for this type of multinomial regression that I stumbled across: ''Seemingly Unrelated Regression.''

Basically, if you're doing lots of runs on variables taken from one data set (even if you're using different dependent variables) they'll possibly share error -- because you're re-using the same variables. This is (apparently) a way of modeling this.

What a great name.
