[A multivariate model for first births]
Abstract:
"The objective of this study was to construct a multivariate model to explain individual differences in first birth, using economic and sociological fertility theories and the findings from past analyses on data from the Netherlands Fertility Survey.... The explanatory variables found to be significant are age at first birth, household position, labour force participation, educational level, and period of first birth.... The parameters of the model can be used to calculate the probability to remain childless for women with a specific life cycle." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
