Multiple regression is the statistical method that includes two or more predictor variables in the equation of a regression line to predict changes in a criterion variable. Option A (analysis of variance) is a statistical method used to test the difference between two or more means. Option B (standard error of estimate) is an estimate of the variation of the dependent variable around the regression line. Option C (residual regression) is not a statistical method.
