Abstract:
The use of a composite response to estimate the relative potency in a multivariate parallel-line bioassay is described by Finney. Occasionally a multivariate bioassay has multiple drugs also. Such a situation arises, for example, when a treatment contains several drugs. A procedure for combining multiple responses and combining multiple drugs is proposed in this paper, in order to obtain point and interval estimates of the relative potency. A composite response and a composite dose level for this purpose are obtained by using canonical analysis.

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...
