Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of determination (R²) is the measure obtained by squaring the correlation coefficient, indicating the proportion of the variance explained by the linear relationship between two variables. The t-statistic is used to test the significance of the coefficients in a regression analysis, the F-ratio is used to test the overall significance of the regression model, and the Pearson coefficient is used to measure the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables.
