MultipleLinearRegression - test for minimum number of samples
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MATH-279
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-279
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Michael Bjorkegren
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.0


It's currently possible to pass in so few rows (samples) that there isn't a row 
for each column (predictor).  Does this look like the right thing to do?
