...   6.2 Simple Linear Regression Relationships Simple linear regression analysis involves developing a relationship between independent and dependent variables using an intercept and slope coefficient. This analysis has the advantage of being simple enough to perform on a hand calculator.

...   6.11, the relationships showed different trends, primarily due to differences in the A and f settings between the test beds. Multiple regression analysis was performed by combining data from different MN and FL test beds by incorporating the E LWD-Z2 , E LWD-Z3 , A, and f values as independent variables.
