How To Interpret R-squared and Goodness-of-Fit in Regression Analysis

All datasets will have some amount of noise that cannot be accounted for by the data. In practice, the largest possible R² will be defined by the amount of unexplainable noise in your outcome variable. If you’re interested in predicting the response variable, prediction intervals are generally more useful than R-squared values. A prediction interval specifies…
