And if anyone is dying for the regression coefficients and the standard errors, these can be found in the like I can see some like numbers.

Examples

  • Standardized regression coefficients were computed to compare the relative influence of each variable in the model.

    Academic text (1993)

Morphology

regression + coefficient

The compound is fully compositional: a 'coefficient' (a constant or multiplier) that belongs to a 'regression' (a statistical relationship) yields a constant that quantifies the regression relationship. Although technical, the meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and mirrors equivalent formations in other languages, so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Regression coefficient comes from the simple picture of a straight line on a graph. The coefficient is like the line's steepness, so it shows how much the 'outcome' rises or falls when the 'input' goes up by 'one unit'.
