CONT

The multiple correlation coefficient, R, is the correlation coefficient between the observed values of Y and the predicted values of Y. For this reason, the value of R will always be positive and will take on a value between zero and one. The direction of the multivariate relationship between the independent and dependent variables can be observed in the sign, positive or negative, of the regression weights. The interpretation of R is similar to the interpretation of the correlation coefficient, the closer the value of R to one, the greater the linear relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistics
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

If a model is fitted to data, the difference between model-computed and data values. For example, in a linear regression, the difference between an observed value and the value determined from the equation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Statistique
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
CONT

Quand on a ajusté un modèle à des données, un résidu est la différence entre une des données et la valeur correspondante calculée par le modèle. Dans une régression linéaire, par exemple, c'est la différence entre une valeur observée et la valeur donnée par l'équation.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Estadística
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Para un modelo ajustado a los datos, la diferencia entre los valores calculados por el modelo y los datos. Por ejemplo en una regresión lineal, la diferencia entre un valor observado y el valor determinado por la ecuación.
