Why is each ? term in a multiple regression equation called a partial regression coefficient?

What will be an ideal response?


As in simple regression, the ?s indicate how much Y changes for a one-unit change in the independent variables when the other variables are held constant. Each ? is called a partial regression coefficient because it indicates the relationship between a particular X and the Y after all the other independent variables have been “partialed out” or simultaneously controlled.
