Regression allows you to estimate how a dependent variable changes as the independent variable(s) change. Multiple linear regression is used to estimate the relationship between two or more independent variables and one dependent variable.

What is the purpose of multiple linear regression?

Multiple linear regression, shortened to multiple regression or just MLR, is a technique used in statistics. Its purpose is to predict the likely outcome based on several variables, plotting the relationship between these multiple independent variables and single dependent variables.

Why is multiple regression analysis so widely used?

The principal adventage of multiple regression model is that it gives us more of the information available to us who estimate the dependent variable. It also enable us to fit curves as well as lines.
