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.

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).
