Answer
The model adequacy of a multiple regression model is measure using the coefficient of determination R2. It is the proportion of variability in a data set that is accounted for by the statistical model. It provides a measure of how well future outcomes are likely to be predicted by the model. The general definition of R2 is where SSR is the sum of squares due to regression, SST is the total sum of squares. 0≤R2≤1.
R2 is a statistic that will give some information about the goodness of fit of a ...
