Line 6:
Think of multiple regression as "surface fitting" rather than curve fitting. Some examples:
* You want to use multiple regression to create a three-dimensional surface so you can estimate
* As a possible modification to the existing height/weight examples: You want to use height and body-mass index (BMI) to create a three-dimensional surface so you can estimate weight: X is a two-dimensional matrix <code>{height[i], bmi[i]}</code>, Y is <code>weight[i]</code>.
