Title: Testing research hypotheses using multiple linear regression
First published: 1975
Description: Multiple regression is becoming more wide­ly used as the statistical technique for answering research hypotheses. This is so for several reasons: 1) the technique is extreme­ly versatile; 2) the computer has made the technique more available to researchers; and 3) texts such as the authors’ earlier work are making the technique more available to re­searchers. The statistical technique of mul­tiple regression allows the inclusion of numerous continuous (quantitative) and categorical (qualitative) variables in the prediction of some criterion.
