Building a handrail for your deck may seem like a simple task. In many cases it is -- until the time arrives to figure out how to get the balusters or spindles evenly spaced along the handrail. Evenly spaced spindles improve the symmetry of the rails and lend a professional look to the project. But finding the right measuring formula may give the average home handyman pause.
R-squared is a statistical measurement that determines the proportion of a security's return, or the return on a specific portfolio of securities, that can be explained by variations in the stock market, as measured by a benchmark index.
Quick Answer. The adjusted r-square is a standardized indicator of r-square, adjusting for the number of predictor variables. This shows the standardized variance of the independent variables on the dependent variable in regression analysis. The adjusted r-square includes the degrees of freedom for the statistical model, which is the total number of variables minus one.
