Understanding R-squared in Linear Regression: A Case Study In the realm of statistical modeling, R-squared (R²) is a widely used measure to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of a linear regression model. It represents the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variables. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and misinterpreting R² can lead to incorrect conclusions about model performance. In this article, we will delve into the world of R-squared, exploring its limitations, pitfalls, and nuances.
