A quadratic regression model is used to incorporate a squared term of the independent variable in addition to the independent variable itself, allowing for a nonlinear relationship to be modeled. A multiple regression model involves multiple independent variables being used to predict a dependent variable, whereas a simple regression model involves only one independent variable. Least squares regression refers to the method of finding the line of best fit in a regression model.
