# Terminology for regression with more than 1 independent variable and more than 1 dependent variable?

I know that multiple regression corresponds to the case where we have 1 dependent variable and multiple independent variables. Multivariate regression, on the other hand, corresponds to the case where we have 1 independent variable and multiple dependent variables. So, my question is, what do we call it if a regression method learns the coefficients of multiple independent variables learned from multiple dependent variables at a time (in a multi-task fashion where the dependent variables are the tasks)? Is it both multivariate and multiple regression?

• I just wonder about the terminology that I can use when I refer to the regression methods with more than one IV and more than one DV. I am not looking for a specific method. Changed the title accordingly. – user5054 Apr 6 '17 at 0:06

• This is absolutely a suitable site for your question. Michael is mistaken. We have a terminology tag which is about to hit 700 questions. [Edit: I just added the tag to your Q, so now our site does indeed have 700 terminology questions.] – Glen_b Apr 6 '17 at 7:36
