The variation attributable to factors other than the relationship between the independent variables and the explained variable is known as error sum of squares. Regression sum of squares represents the variation explained by the independent variables, and total sum of squares represents the total variation in the explained variable. Regression mean squares is calculated by dividing regression sum of squares by the degrees of freedom, and is used to calculate the F-statistic in ANOVA.
