Description

Problem Description

This problem will test the implementation of the R-squared (R²) coefficient, a fundamental statistical measure used to evaluate the goodness of fit in regression models.

Importance

The R-squared coefficient (coefficient of determination) measures how well a regression model fits the observed data. It represents the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).

Mathematical Definition

R² is calculated as:
R² = 1 - (SSR/SST)

Where,

  • SSR = Sum of Squared Residuals
  • SST = Total Sum of Squares
