The usual approach to sensor data recording implies measurement of each variable in separate equipment, making it difficult and expensive to integrate and process jointed data. The possibility of incorporating the theme of Internet of Things (I.oT.) in research is being analyzed to take advantage of the ubiquitous computing capabilities available today. This article is about simple regression and multiple regression models, which offer the bases to explore the relationship between variables associated to microalgae kinetic growth: temperature, light, pH and dissolved oxygen. Recorded data will provide new approaches to present works; in this way, researchers will perform various data analysis online.
