## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{b}, @var{bint}, @var{r}, @var{rint}, @var{stats}] =} regress (@var{y}, @var{X}, [@var{alpha}])
## Multiple Linear Regression using Least Squares Fit of @var{y} on @var{X}
## with the model @code{y = X * beta + e}.
##
## Here,
##
## @itemize
## @item
## @code{y} is a column vector of observed values
## @item
## @code{X} is a matrix of regressors, with the first column filled with
## the constant value 1
## @item
## @code{beta} is a column vector of regression parameters
## @item
## @code{e} is a column vector of random errors
## @end itemize
##
## Arguments are
##
## @itemize
## @item
## @var{y} is the @code{y} in the model
## @item
## @var{X} is the @code{X} in the model
## @item
## @var{alpha} is the significance level used to calculate the confidence
## intervals @var{bint} and @var{rint} (see `Return values' below). If not
## specified, ALPHA defaults to 0.05
## @end itemize
##
## Return values are
##
## @itemize
## @item
## @var{b} is the @code{beta} in the model
## @item
## @var{bint} is the confidence interval for @var{b}
## @item
## @var{r} is a column vector of residuals
## @item
## @var{rint} is the confidence interval for @var{r}
## @item
## @var{stats} is a row vector containing:
##
##   @itemize
##   @item The R^2 statistic
##   @item The F statistic
##   @item The p value for the full model
##   @item The estimated error variance
##   @end itemize
## @end itemize
##
## @var{r} and @var{rint} can be passed to @code{rcoplot} to visualize
## the residual intervals and identify outliers.
##
## NaN values in @var{y} and @var{X} are removed before calculation begins.
