Historically‚ the concept of multiple realizability facilitated the move from identity theory to functionalism. Functionalism

Multiple regression‚ a time-honored technique going back to Pearson’s 1908 use of it‚ is employed to account for (predict) the variance in an interval dependent‚ based on linear combinations of interval‚ dichotomous‚ or dummy independent variables.
