For example, in simple linear regression for modeling formula_3 data points there is one independent variable formula_4, and two parameters, formula_5 and formula_6 straight line formula_7In multiple linear regression, there are several independent variables or functions of independent variables.

To eliminate both the regional and country limitations could disproportionately affect the share of TRAC 1.1.2 resources for certain regions where there are few LICs or LDCs.
