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. 2, record 1, English, - coefficient%20of%20multiple%20correlation

En el análisis de regresión que se aplica en estadística y econometría, lo que se trata de obtener es la predicción del valor de una variable dependiente, a partir de variables independientes. El análisis puede ser simple(una sola variable independiente) o múltiple(dos o más variables independientes). Los valores que toma la variable independiente se representan en una gráfica de ejes cartesianos, con el resultado de una serie de puntos, a partir de los cuales cabe obtener una recta de regresión, expresiva de la tendencia, que es posible calcular por el método de los mínimos cuadrados. 1, record 5, Spanish, - regresi%C3%B3n%20lineal
