Accurate estimates of distances and peculiar velocities for galaxies may be derived with the help of multi-dimensional regression analysis using two or more distance indicators pk (corrected apparent sizes, luminosities, other distance-dependent quantities) and some calibrators q1 (velocity dispersions of the ellipticals or HI-line widths of the spirals, mean surface brightness, colours, other distance-independent quantities) together, cf. Georgiev (1992). Here an example is given for 349 spiral galaxies with axial ratio D/d > 1.4 from the sample of Fisher & Tully (1981). The p-values are the major axis and the blue magnitude and the q-values are the HI line width, type and axial ratio.
