Garbage Data<br />
◮ R 2 is 26% !!<br />
◮ As usual, we need a statistical notion <strong>of</strong> how close is close...<br />
◮ It turns out that if we transform R 2 we can solve this.<br />
Define<br />
f =<br />
R 2 /(p − 1)<br />
(1 − R 2 )/(n − p)<br />
This is the F-test <strong>of</strong> overall significance. Under the null hypothesis<br />
f is distributed:<br />
f ∼ F p−1,n−p<br />
