Multiple Linear Regression: Introduction Regression Analysis is the …estimation of the linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables or covariates. (from SPSS Help) Next © Copyright 2000, Julia Hartman 2
Multiple Linear Regression: Introduction This tutorial will use multiple regression to determine if the year of matriculation, total cumulative undergraduate GPAs, and MCAT scores can be used to predict how medical students will score on the US Medical Licensing Exam (Part 2).
