Key Concepts

Coefficient of Determination (R²)

This key concept measures the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variables. It is calculated as the ratio of the regression sum of squares (SSR) to the total sum of squares (SST). A higher R² indicates that a greater proportion of the variability in the outcome is explained by the model, which is crucial in determining the model’s explanatory power.

Adjusted R²

Adjusted R² modifies the regular R² to account for the number of predictors in the model relative to the number of observations. Unlike the R² which always increases when more predictors are added, the adjusted R² can decrease if the new predictors do not improve the model sufficiently. This adjustment helps in assessing the true explanatory power of the model while guarding against overfitting.

Goodness of Fit

Goodness of fit refers to how well a statistical model fits a set of observations. It is generally assessed using measures like R² and adjusted R², along with other diagnostic tools, ensuring that the model adequately captures the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. A good model will have values of R² and adjusted R² that indicate a significant portion of variability in the dependent variable is explained.
