Multiple Linear Regression versus Simple Linear Regression Main Advantage Multiple linear regression enables you to investigate the relationship among Y and several independent variables simultaneously. Main Disadvantages Increased complexity makes it more difficult to ascertain which model is “best” interpret the models. 23
Common Applications 24
Prediction The terms in the model, the values of their coefficients, and their statistical significance are of secondary importance. The focus is on producing a model that is the best at predicting future values of Y as a function of the Xs . The predicted value of Y is given by 25
