Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law.Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R 2 of the regression is relatively high.. In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R 2 or r 2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).
The last value listed, labelled “r2CU” is the pseudo-r-squared by Nagelkerke and is the same as the pseudo-r-squared by Cragg and Uhler. Pseudo-R-squared values are used when the outcome variable is nominal or ordinal such that the coefficient of determination R 2 cannot be applied as a measure for goodness of fit and when a likelihood ...
IRLS is used to find the maximum likelihood estimates of a generalized linear model, and in robust regression to find an M-estimator, as a way of mitigating the influence of outliers in an otherwise normally-distributed data set, for example, by minimizing the least absolute errors rather than the least square errors.
In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of one parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...
The earliest reference to a similar formula appears to be Armstrong (1985, p. 348), where it is called "adjusted MAPE" and is defined without the absolute values in the denominator. It was later discussed, modified, and re-proposed by Flores (1986).
I believe that R-squared is a measure of variability aligned rather than variability accounted for. With respect to correlation is not causation, consider R-squared as variabilty "aligned" rather than "accounted for." For example, if the number of churches in cities is correlated with the number of bars in cites, say .9 , then R-squared is .81.
In multiple regression, the omnibus test is an ANOVA F test on all the coefficients, that is equivalent to the multiple correlations R Square F test. The omnibus F test is an overall test that examines model fit, thus failure to reject the null hypothesis implies that the suggested linear model is not significantly suitable to the data.
