[R] CRAN and Multiple Linear Regression

[Abhijit Dasgupta]

Multiple linear regression is handled by the function lm() in the 
default installation of R. This takes inputs as lm(y~x1+x2+x3).

If you're going to be using R regularly, there are several books which 
cover the basic statistical analyses available in R (and then some), 
including those by Peter Daalgard and by Brian Ripley, who are very 
regular contributors to this list.
