Multiple Regression

Some examples

• Prescribing could be modelled as a function of how the drug performs against certain attributes

  	Rx = 20	+	2.65 x 'satisfactorily controls condition'
  		+	1.35 x 'does not cause weight gain'
  		+	1.30 x 'results in high level of compliance'
  		+	0.80 x 'has low incidence of side effects'
  		-	1.25 x 'requires periodic monitoring'
  		-	1.55 x 'potential for drug interactions'
  	A unit rise in performance against 'does not cause weight gain' implies a rise of 1.35 in Rx

• Customer satisfaction can often be modelled as a function of its 'components' e.g. service and value
