Multiple Correlation Versus Multiple Regression

It is well known that multiple correlation analysis (MCA) calculations and multiple regression analysis (MRA) calculations overlap a bit. What has not been routinely recognized is that the two analysis procedures involve different research questions and study designs, different inferential approaches, different analysis strategies, and different reported information. These differences are described.
