Simple regression involves the use of one independent variable to estimate the dependent variable. High-low method involves using only the highest and lowest values of the independent variable to estimate the dependent variable. Multiple regression involves the use of two or more independent variables to estimate the dependent variable. Singular regression is not a recognized statistical method. Least squares regression is a commonly used method for estimating the parameters of a regression model, but it is not a choice given in the question.
