What is pearson's correlation coefficient?
Show answer
For linear associations, Pearson's correlation coefficient rr measures the direction and strength of the linear relationship on a scale from 1-1 to +1+1:
What is the coefficient of determination?
Show answer
The coefficient of determination is simply r2r^2, the square of the correlation coefficient. It is usually quoted as a percentage and interpreted as the proportion of the variation in the response variable that is explained by the linear relationship with the explanatory variable.
