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

Multiple correlation provides an estimate of the combined influence of two or more independent variables on the dependent variable. For example, it could be used to measure, the relationship between age and years of schooling combined and hours per week spent watching television. A multiple correlation may be either a linear correlation or a curvilinear correlation. 1, record 2, English, - multiple%20correlation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
If the independent variables are regarded as random variables, then the appropriate term is multiple correlation. If the independent variables are fixed in advance then the term is multiple regression. 2, record 2, English, - multiple%20correlation

Lorsque nous sommes en présence de 3 variables : x, y ou z, il se pose d'abord un problème de corrélation simple. Dans la recherche de la corrélation simple, nous allons associer 2 de ces variables, et nous allons négliger la 3e. (...) ainsi (...) lorsque interviennent 3 variables, il y aura 3 indices de corrélation simple : [r souscrit xy, r souscrit yz et r souscrit zx] (...) Mais il se pose un autre problème, c'est d'étudier en simultanéité la corrélation x, y, z. Cette étude en simultanéité de la corrélation entre 3 variables, entre 3 séries statistiques, est celle que nous appelons la corrélation multiple. 1, record 2, French, - corr%C3%A9lation%20multiple
