If you think of simple linear regression, then yes :-) – chl♦ Nov 15 '12 at 11:20

@chl is correct. If you'd like a simpler introduction to simple linear regression than the one in Wikipedia, I wrote one on my blog – Peter Flom Nov 15 '12 at 11:36
Funny, a long time ago, when I was just out of high school, it took me some training to realize that I can use more than one independent variable in a regression model :-) – January Nov 15 '12 at 11:38
Will try to do it in SPSS, thanks all! – Laurens Nov 15 '12 at 12:15
