Abel transform

Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law. Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R² of the regression is relatively high.

Comparison of the Theil–Sen estimator (black) and simple linear regression (blue) for a set of points with outliers. Because of the many outliers, neither of the regression lines fits the data well, as measured by the fact that neither gives a very high R².

In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R² and pronounced R squared, indicates how well data points fits a statistical model – sometimes simply a line or curve. It is a statistic used in the context of statistical models whose main purpose is either the prediction of future outcomes or the testing of hypotheses, on the basis of other related information. It provides a measure of how well observed outcomes are replicated by the model, as the proportion of total variation of outcomes explained by the model.

There are several different definitions of R² which are only sometimes equivalent. One class of such cases includes that of simple linear regression. In this case, if an intercept is included then R² is simply the square of the sample correlation coefficient between the outcomes and their predicted values; in the case of simple linear regression, it is the square of the correlation between the outcomes and the values of the single regressor being used for prediction. If an intercept is included and the number of explanators is more than one, R² is the square of the coefficient of multiple correlation. In such cases, the coefficient of determination ranges from 0 to 1. Important cases where the computational definition of R² can yield negative values, depending on the definition used, arise where the predictions which are being compared to the corresponding outcomes have not been derived from a model-fitting procedure using those data, and where linear regression is conducted without including an intercept. Additionally, negative values of R² may occur when fitting non-linear functions to data. In cases where negative values arise, the mean of the data provides a better fit to the outcomes than do the fitted function values, according to this particular criterion.

Definitions

$R^2=1-\frac{S{S}_{\text{res}}}{S{S}_{\text{tot}}}$
The better the linear regression (on the right) fits the data in comparison to the simple average (on the left graph), the closer the value of $R^2$ is to one. The areas of the blue squares represent the squared residuals with respect to the linear regression. The areas of the red squares represent the squared residuals with respect to the average value.

A data set has values y_i, each of which has an associated modelled value f_i (also sometimes referred to as ŷ_i). Here, the values y_i are called the observed values and the modelled values f_i are sometimes called the predicted values.

In what follows $\overline{y}$ is the mean of the observed data:

$\overline{y}=\frac{1}{n}\sum _{i=1}^n{y}_i$

where n is the number of observations.

The "variability" of the data set is measured through different sums of squares:Template:Disambiguation needed

$S{S}_{\text{tot}}=\sum _i(y_i-\overline{y}{)}^2,$ the total sum of squares (proportional to the sample variance);

$S{S}_{\text{reg}}=\sum _i(f_i-\overline{y}{)}^2,$ the regression sum of squares, also called the explained sum of squares.

$S{S}_{\text{res}}=\sum _i(y_i-f_i{)}^2$, the sum of squares of residuals, also called the residual sum of squares.

The notations $S{S}_R$ and $S{S}_E$ should be avoided, since in some texts their meaning is reversed to Residual sum of squares and Explained sum of squares, respectively.

The most general definition of the coefficient of determination is

$R^2\equiv 1-\frac{S{S}_{\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{s}}}{S{S}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}}}.$

Relation to unexplained variance

In a general form, R² can be seen to be related to the unexplained variance, since the second term compares the unexplained variance (variance of the model's errors) with the total variance (of the data). See fraction of variance unexplained.

As explained variance

In some cases the total sum of squares equals the sum of the two other sums of squares defined above,

$S{S}_{\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{s}}+S{S}_{\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{g}}=S{S}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}}.$

See partitioning in the general OLS model for a derivation of this result for one case where the relation holds. When this relation does hold, the above definition of R² is equivalent to

$R^2=\frac{S{S}_{\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{g}}}{S{S}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}}}=\frac{S{S}_{\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{g}}/n}{S{S}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}}/n}.$

In this form R² is expressed as the ratio of the explained variance (variance of the model's predictions, which is SS_reg / n) to the total variance (sample variance of the dependent variable, which is SS_tot / n).

This partition of the sum of squares holds for instance when the model values ƒ_i have been obtained by linear regression. A milder sufficient condition reads as follows: The model has the form

$f_i=\alpha +\beta q_i$

where the q_i are arbitrary values that may or may not depend on i or on other free parameters (the common choice q_i = x_i is just one special case), and the coefficients α and β are obtained by minimizing the residual sum of squares.

This set of conditions is an important one and it has a number of implications for the properties of the fitted residuals and the modelled values. In particular, under these conditions:

$\overline{f}=\overline{y}.$

As squared correlation coefficient

Similarly, in linear least squares regression with an estimated intercept term, R² equals the square of the Pearson correlation coefficient between the observed and modeled (predicted) data values of the dependent variable.

Under more general modeling conditions, where the predicted values might be generated from a model different than linear least squares regression, an R² value can be calculated as the square of the correlation coefficient between the original and modeled data values. In this case, the value is not directly a measure of how good the modeled values are, but rather a measure of how good a predictor might be constructed from the modeled values (by creating a revised predictor of the form α + βƒ_i). According to Everitt (2002, p. 78), this usage is specifically the definition of the term "coefficient of determination": the square of the correlation between two (general) variables.

Interpretation

R² is a statistic that will give some information about the goodness of fit of a model. In regression, the R² coefficient of determination is a statistical measure of how well the regression line approximates the real data points. An R² of 1 indicates that the regression line perfectly fits the data.

Values of R² outside the range 0 to 1 can occur where it is used to measure the agreement between observed and modeled values and where the "modeled" values are not obtained by linear regression and depending on which formulation of R² is used. If the first formula above is used, values can be greater than one. If the second expression is used, there are no constraints on the values obtainable.

In many (but not all) instances where R² is used, the predictors are calculated by ordinary least-squares regression: that is, by minimizing SS_err. In this case R² increases as we increase the number of variables in the model (R² is monotone increasing with the number of variables included, i.e. it will never decrease). This illustrates a drawback to one possible use of R², where one might keep adding variables (Kitchen sink regression) to increase the R² value. For example, if one is trying to predict the sales of a model of car from the car's gas mileage, price, and engine power, one can include such irrelevant factors as the first letter of the model's name or the height of the lead engineer designing the car because the R² will never decrease as variables are added and will probably experience an increase due to chance alone.

This leads to the alternative approach of looking at the adjusted R². The explanation of this statistic is almost the same as R² but it penalizes the statistic as extra variables are included in the model. For cases other than fitting by ordinary least squares, the R² statistic can be calculated as above and may still be a useful measure. If fitting is by weighted least squares or generalized least squares, alternative versions of R² can be calculated appropriate to those statistical frameworks, while the "raw" R² may still be useful if it is more easily interpreted. Values for R² can be calculated for any type of predictive model, which need not have a statistical basis.

In a linear model

Consider a linear model of the form

$Y_i={\beta }_0+\sum _{j=1}^p{\beta }_j{X}_{i,j}+{\epsilon }_i,$

where, for the ith case, $Y_i$ is the response variable, $X_{i,1},\dots ,X_{i,p}$ are p regressors, and ${\epsilon }_i$ is a mean zero error term. The quantities ${\beta }_0,\dots ,{\beta }_p$ are unknown coefficients, whose values are estimated by least squares. The coefficient of determination R² is a measure of the global fit of the model. Specifically, R² is an element of [0, 1] and represents the proportion of variability in Y_i that may be attributed to some linear combination of the regressors (explanatory variables) in X.

R² is often interpreted as the proportion of response variation "explained" by the regressors in the model. Thus, R² = 1 indicates that the fitted model explains all variability in $y$, while R² = 0 indicates no 'linear' relationship (for straight line regression, this means that the straight line model is a constant line (slope = 0, intercept = $\overline{y}$) between the response variable and regressors). An interior value such as R² = 0.7 may be interpreted as follows: "Seventy percent of the variation in the response variable can be explained by the explanatory variables. The remaining thirty percent can be attributed to unknown, lurking variables or inherent variability."

A caution that applies to R², as to other statistical descriptions of correlation and association is that "correlation does not imply causation." In other words, while correlations may provide valuable clues regarding causal relationships among variables, a high correlation between two variables does not represent adequate evidence that changing one variable has resulted, or may result, from changes of other variables.

In case of a single regressor, fitted by least squares, R² is the square of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient relating the regressor and the response variable. More generally, R² is the square of the correlation between the constructed predictor and the response variable. With more than one regressor, the R² can be referred to as the coefficient of multiple determination.

Inflation of R²

In least squares regression, R² is weakly increasing with increases in the number of regressors in the model. Because increases in the number of regressors increase the value of R², R² alone cannot be used as a meaningful comparison of models with very different numbers of independent variables. For a meaningful comparison between two models, an F-test can be performed on the residual sum of squares, similar to the F-tests in Granger causality, though this is not always appropriate. As a reminder of this, some authors denote R² by R_p², where p is the number of columns in X (the number of explanators including the constant).

To demonstrate this property, first recall that the objective of least squares linear regression is:

${\min }_{b}S{S}_{\text{err}}(b)\Rightarrow {\min }_b\sum _i(y_i-X_{i}b{)}^2$

The optimal value of the objective is weakly smaller as additional columns of $X$ are added, by the fact that less constrained minimization leads to an optimal cost which is weakly smaller than more constrained minimization does. Given the previous conclusion and noting that $S{S}_{tot}$ depends only on y, the non-decreasing property of R² follows directly from the definition above.

The intuitive reason that using an additional explanatory variable cannot lower the R² is this: Minimizing $S{S}_{\text{err}}$ is equivalent to maximizing R². When the extra variable is included, the data always have the option of giving it an estimated coefficient of zero, leaving the predicted values and the R² unchanged. The only way that the optimization problem will give a non-zero coefficient is if doing so improves the R².

Notes on interpreting R²

R² does not indicate whether:

• the independent variables are a cause of the changes in the dependent variable;
• omitted-variable bias exists;
• the correct regression was used;
• the most appropriate set of independent variables has been chosen;
• there is collinearity present in the data on the explanatory variables;
• the model might be improved by using transformed versions of the existing set of independent variables.

Adjusted R²

First, the rate for a bad credit loan is greater than a conventional home loan. You may come across many people who have been chucked out of their jobs. Closing a card with balance due on it might give you blemished credit if the lender stops reporting your borrowing limit. If, on the other hand, your account is still in the statute but the account has been re-aged, you will also need documented proof of the evidence and bring it to court. So it's very important that you know more about the types of cards available, and one that will work best for you.

You must always search around to get the best deal with your home loan. Thousands of online searches are actually inquired every week regarding poor credit credit charge cards as well as personal loan concerns. State governments can encourage developers to build in larger quantities at reasonable sizes and affordable prices in a public-private partnership approach. Some firms could give cost-free credit constructing and following that possess a hidden charge, this may possibly simultaneously be a scam. You'll opt for either secured or unsecured poor credit personal loans relying upon your wants.

And, then you start running in the opposite direction and run as fast as you can. Most times, students get credit from finance institution through this implies. To avoid perpetuating their monetary crises, borrowers should not take out these kinds of loan unless it's urgent, and they should always consider a payment schedule beforehand. Having a poor credit ranking may limit you heavily in both situations. In deed so, you tins become familiar with different terms of importance postcard and rates.

It is no longer difficult to borrow money despite poor credit. Poor credit people can improve their credit rating by repaying the loan amount regularly and in time. Poor credit loans are the sort of advances which will never include any sort of credit check policy or so on. But this time it is really important to choose the right offer for you, because few bad decisions can make you go through hard times for instance borrowing more than you can afford, borrowing money for things that can be avoided. If the circumstance is in fact that the report is correct, you are able to have it revised.

Too often, dealers cherry pick these buyers- they pull credits and if the shoppers rating doesn't meet the dealers criterion, the buyer is given the heave-ho. The happy news is that when you are putting down payment of ten % or even more than this, the payment of interest will be less.

Here the borrowers can compare the loan deals offered by various lenders. This happens because money lenders approve such loans without conducting any credit checks. In this online guide, we will review the benefits and drawbacks of a 2nd chance unsecured credit card for someone having a damaged credit score. The use of an adjusted R² (often written as ${\overline{R}}^2$ and pronounced "R bar squared") is an attempt to take account of the phenomenon of the R² automatically and spuriously increasing when extra explanatory variables are added to the model. It is a modification due to Theil of R² that adjusts for the number of explanatory terms in a model relative to the number of data points. The adjusted R² can be negative, and its value will always be less than or equal to that of R². Unlike R², the adjusted R² increases when a new explanator is included only if the new explanator improves the R² more than would be expected in the absence of any explanatory value being added by the new explanator. If a set of explanatory variables with a predetermined hierarchy of importance are introduced into a regression one at a time, with the adjusted R² computed each time, the level at which adjusted R² reaches a maximum, and decreases afterward, would be the regression with the ideal combination of having the best fit without excess/unnecessary terms. The adjusted R² is defined as

${\overline{R}}^2=1-(1-R^2)\frac{n-1}{n-p-1}=R^2-(1-R^2)\frac{p}{n-p-1}$

where p is the total number of regressors in the linear model (not counting the constant term), and n is the sample size.

Adjusted R² can also be written as

${\overline{R}}^2=1-\frac{S{S}_{\text{err}}/d{f}_e}{S{S}_{\text{tot}}/d{f}_t}$

where df_t is the degrees of freedom n– 1 of the estimate of the population variance of the dependent variable, and df_e is the degrees of freedom n – p – 1 of the estimate of the underlying population error variance.

The principle behind the adjusted R² statistic can be seen by rewriting the ordinary R² as

$R^2=1-\frac{{\mathit{\text{<mrow data-mjx-texclass="ORD">VAR</mrow>}}}_{\text{err}}}{{\mathit{\text{<mrow data-mjx-texclass="ORD">VAR</mrow>}}}_{\text{tot}}}$

where ${\mathit{\text{<mrow data-mjx-texclass="ORD">VAR</mrow>}}}_{\text{err}}=S{S}_{\text{err}}/n$ and ${\mathit{\text{<mrow data-mjx-texclass="ORD">VAR</mrow>}}}_{\text{tot}}=S{S}_{\text{tot}}/n$ are the sample variances of the estimated residuals and the dependent variable respectively, which can be seen as biased estimates of the population variances of the errors and of the dependent variable. These estimates are replaced by statistically unbiased versions: ${\mathit{\text{<mrow data-mjx-texclass="ORD">VAR</mrow>}}}_{\text{err}}=S{S}_{\text{err}}/(n-p-1)$ and ${\mathit{\text{<mrow data-mjx-texclass="ORD">VAR</mrow>}}}_{\text{tot}}=S{S}_{\text{tot}}/(n-1)$.

Adjusted R² does not have the same interpretation as R²—while R² is a measure of fit, adjusted R² is instead a comparative measure of suitability of alternative nested sets of explanators. Potter or Ceramic Artist Truman Bedell from Rexton, has interests which include ceramics, best property developers in singapore developers in singapore and scrabble. Was especially enthused after visiting Alejandro de Humboldt National Park. As such, care must be taken in interpreting and reporting this statistic. Adjusted R² is particularly useful in the feature selection stage of model building.

Generalized R²

Nagelkerke (1991) generalizes the definition of the coefficient of determination:

1. A generalized coefficient of determination should be consistent with the classical coefficient of determination when both can be computed;
2. Its value should also be maximised by the maximum likelihood estimation of a model;
3. It should be, at least asymptotically, independent of the sample size;
4. Its interpretation should be the proportion of the variation explained by the model;
5. It should be between 0 and 1, with 0 denoting that model does not explain any variation and 1 denoting that it perfectly explains the observed variation;
6. It should not have any unit.

The generalized R² (which was itself originally proposed by Cox & Snell (1989) ) has all of these properties.

$R^2=1-{\left(\frac{L(0)}{L(\hat{\theta })}\right)}^{2/n}$

where L(0) is the likelihood of the model with only the intercept, $L(\hat{\theta })$ is the likelihood of the estimated model (i.e., the model with a given set of parameter estimates) and n is the sample size.

However, in the case of a logistic model, where $L(\hat{\theta })$ cannot be greater than 1, R² is between 0 and $R_{\max }^2=1-(L(0){)}^{2/n}$: thus, Nagelkerke suggests the possibility to define a scaled R² as R²/R²_max.

Comparison with other goodness of fit indicators

The higher the correlation, the closer r2 is to "1".

Norm of Residuals

Occasionally the norm of residuals is used for indicating goodness of fit. This term is encountered in MATLAB and is calculated by

$\text{norm of residuals}=\sqrt{S{S}_{\text{res}}}$

Both R² and the norm of residuals have their relative merits. For least squares analysis R² varies between 0 and 1, with larger numbers indicating better fits and 1 represents a perfect fit. Norm of residuals varies from 0 to infinity with smaller numbers indicating better fits and zero indicating a perfect fit. One advantage and disadvantage of R² is the $\sqrt{S{S}_{\text{tot}}}$ term acts to normalize the value. If the y_i values are all multiplied by a constant, the norm of residuals will also change by that constant but R² will stay the same. As a basic example, for the linear least squares fit to the set of data:

$x=1,2,3,4,5$

$y=1.9,3.7,5.8,8.0,9.6$

R² = 0.997, and norm of residuals = 0.302. If all values of y are multiplied by 1000 (for example, in an SI prefix change), then R² remains the same, but norm of residuals = 302.
