ABSTRACT
Multiple regression/correlation analysis (MRC) is a highly general and therefore very flexible data-analytic system that may be used whenever a quantitative variable (the dependent variable) is to be studied as a function of, or in relation ship to, any factors of interest (expressed as independent variables). The sweep of this statement is quite intentional:
1. The form of the relationship is not constrained; it may be simple or com plex, for example, straight line or curvilinear, general or conditional, or com binations of these possibilities.
