Why would I need YOU (of all the Quacks) to agree with me? This is
complete STANDARD terminology in Statistics.

Yes, I know. What's your point?

My point is why do I need a Quack to agree with me when the point is
obvious because it is 100% standard usage.

On the other hand, "multivariate

should probably speak of "multivariate multiple regression"). So yay,
we agree on something.

So, you finally can claim that you were correct FOR ONCE? Not even
100% correct at that.

The "multiple" is unnecessary. The only requirement in the DEFINITION
of multivariate regression is that there are MORE THAN ONE dependent
variables.

That's what I said. However, when there are multiple dependent and
multiple independent variables, then we may want to call it
multivariate multiple regression.

You MAY want to, but no statistical textbook or any statistician ever
uses that superflous "multiple" in multivariate regression.


The "multivariate" for the fact that
there are multiple dependent variables and the "multiple" for the fact
that there are multiple independent variables.

No, even thought it may SEEM sensible. Did you ever see any one
use the term Multivariate Simple Regression because there is one
independent variable? Of course not. You misguided pedant.
