How do you identify multiple independent variables?
By far the most common approach to including multiple independent variables in an experiment is the factorial design. In a factorial design , each level of one independent variable (which can also be called a factor) is combined with each level of the others to produce all possible combinations.
Can a study have 2 independent variables?
There are often not more than one or two independent variables tested in an experiment, otherwise it is difficult to determine the influence of each upon the final results. There may be several dependent variables, because manipulating the independent variable can influence many different things.
How to justify the choice of independent variables?
Factor analysis methods consider the relationship between the independent variables you have (light, air) and have nothing to say about their relationship to the response (purchasing). For the sort of data that you seem to have, I would try a regression tree as a useful exploratory method.
How many independent variables do you need for a multiple linear regression?
Multiple linear regression requires at least two independent variables, which can be nominal, ordinal, or interval/ratio level variables. A rule of thumb for the sample size is that regression analysis requires at least 20 cases per independent variable in the analysis. Learn more about sample size here.

When to use multiple linear regression in agriculture?
You can use multiple linear regression when you want to know: How strong the relationship is between two or more independent variables and one dependent variable (e.g. how rainfall, temperature, and amount of fertilizer added affect crop growth).
How to find the best fit line for each independent variable?
To find the best-fit line for each independent variable, multiple linear regression calculates three things: The regression coefficients that lead to the smallest overall model error. The t -statistic of the overall model.
