Coefficient of determination (R²)

0.9367

Observations (n)5
R² = 1 − SS_res / SS_tot — fraction of variance in y explained by the model.

Introduction

Calculate R² to measure how much variance in y is explained by x in a linear model. Compare models on the same data set. Use The Daily Tools' R-Squared Calculator for private, browser-based processing — no account or server upload required.
