Abstract
This final chapter provides an introduction into multivariate regression modeling. We will cover the logic behind multiple regression modeling and explain the interpretation of a multivariate regression model. We will further cover the assumptions this type of model is based upon. Finally, and using our data, we will provide concrete examples on how to interpret a multiple regression model.

Further Reading
Since basically all books listed under bivariate correlation and regression analysis also cover multiple regression analysis, the books I present here go beyond the scope of this textbook here. These books could be interesting further reads, in particular to students, who want to learn more what is covered here.

In addition to multiple linear regression analysis the topics covered include different types of maximum likelihood estimations such as logit, probit, and ordinal regression analysis, as well as survival or event history analysis.
