_No_ program can "figure out the relationship" between a response variable and given predictor variables. But Mathematica can certainly find a linear model fit with multiple predictor variables -- provided that's an appropriate model for you to use. The function LinearModelFit does this. Perhaps your data are such that you really want some nonlinear model. You specify the form of the model (as a function of the predictor variables) and then use NonlinearModelFit to let Mathematica determine the parameters of the model.
