Abstract: This paper describes a Web-based computer program called 'Estimating A Plane'. The program creates a three-dimensional 'world'. Within this world a sample of data from the linear model Y = f(X1, X2) can be selected and plotted in three-dimensional space. The program will then estimate the least squares coefficients of the model and graph its geometric representation a plane. The estimated coefficients can be compared to the 'true' coefficients and the estimated plane can be compared to the 'true' plane.
