SQL SSAS Dimension relationships

There are four main sql ssas dimension relationships. Regular, Referenced, Many-to-Many and Fact.

Regular - Is used when relationship of a dimension is linked directly to a measure group through the attribute.

Reference - Is used when relationship of a dimension is linked directly to a measure group through a intermediate dimension.

Many-to-Many - Is used when relationship of a dimension is linked through a measure group through an intermediate measure group.

Fact - Is used when relationship of a dimension is linked through a fact table to define the measure group.

If anyone can elaborate further on this, you are welcome.
