R2 is the proportion of the variation in y
that is explained by the linear relationship between x and y.
R^2= .9838 R-squared is a statistical measure of how close the data are to the fitted regression line. In this case R-squared is .9838 which means that 98.38% of the total variation is described by the line. .9838 is close to 1, this means that a lot of the variation in the y values is described by the variation in x values. |
