Regression.pm is a multivariate linear regression package. That is, it
estimates the c coefficients for a line-fit of the type

y= c(0)*x(0) + c(1)*x1 + c(2)*x2 + ... + c(k)*xk

given a data set of N observations, each with k independent x variables and
one y variable. Naturally, N must be greater than k---and preferably
considerably greater. Any reasonable undergraduate statistics book will

constant ('1') as x(0) for each observation in order to allow the regression
package to fit an intercept.
