There is an unfortunate (in my view) tendency for people to use
"multivariate regression" whden talking about what I call "multiple

this should be reserved for regression where the left-hand side is
multivariate.
But maybe I'm in a minority ...
If so, a minority of at least two...
Part of the problem is that people will often (for better or worse)
screen a set of predictors by "univariate regression", which should
probably be the rather less catchy "single-predictor regression". (As
far as I remember, SPSS, "canonicalizes" the term in its menu system.)
Another approach (maybe more correct?) that I have seen in some papers,
is to use "multivariable regression" for more than one predictors, and
"univariable regression" for just a single one.
