Abstract:
The aim of this study was to assess the quality of the drinking water supply in the district of Avellino (Italy), by evaluating physico-chemical parameters and presence of contaminants. A multivariate approach was used to analyse data and to evaluate compliance to norms and standards. Study results indicate that statistical modeling is a powerful descriptive method to identify qualitative temporal trends in water quality and, if repeated in time, allows an evaluation of representativeness of the sampling points.

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...
