Multiple Linear Regression
Multiple Linear Regression
• Multiple linear regression (MLR), also known simply as multiple regression, is a statistical technique that uses several explanatory variables to predict the outcome of a response variable. • The goal of multiple linear regression (MLR) is to model the linear relationship between the explanatory (independent) variables and response (dependent) variable. • Examples: • The selling price of a house can depend on the desirability of the location, the number of bedrooms, the number of bathrooms, the year the house was built, the square footage of the lot and a number of other factors. • The height of a child can depend on the height of the mother, the height of the father, nutrition, and environmental factors.
