Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of determination (R²) measures the proportion of variability in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable(s). R² ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates that the model explains none of the variability, and 1 indicates that the model explains all of the variability. Therefore, R² cannot be larger than 1, and any value greater than 1 indicates an error in calculation.
