Describe how to calculate the coefficient of determination.

What will be an ideal response?


The coefficient of determination is calculated as the obtained value of r, squared (i.e., r2). The result is a proportion that can be converted to a percentage and interpreted as the percentage of the variance in the dependent variable that is attributable to the independent variable. As a percentage, the coefficient ranges from 0 to 100, with higher numbers signifying stronger relationships, and numbers closer to zero representing weaker associations.
