Multiple Linear Regression: the model For a sample of size n , fit a hyper-plane: There are k -1 explanatory variables, k parameters. Goal: There is a total amount of variation in y (SSTO). We want to explain as much of this variation as possible using a linear model and our multiple explanatory variables.
