Questions and Answers

What does R-squared measure in regression analysis?

  • Model complexity
  • Accuracy of the model predictions
  • Variability of the response data around its mean (correct)
  • Number of independent variables
  • Why is Adjusted R-Squared considered more accurate than R-Squared?

  • It is always between 0 and 100%
  • It indicates the model's explanatory power
  • It is easier to calculate
  • It accounts for the number of independent variables in the model (correct)
  • What does the p-value determine in regression analysis?

  • Number of predictor variables
  • Influence of independent variables on the dependent variable (correct)
  • Model accuracy
  • R-Squared value
  • In classification trees, what is typically asked at each node?
