Abstract
Multiple regression is a commonly used analytic method in the behavioral, educational, and social sciences because it provides a way to model a quantitative outcome variable from regressor variables.1 Multiple regression is an especially important statistical model to understand because special cases and generalizations of multiple regression are many of the most commonly used models in empirical research.
