I started a multiple regression using a dependent variable whose mean was zero and four independent variables. I created four more dependent variables by adding 10, 100, 1000, and 10000 to the first dependent. I expected the r-square of the no-intercept to always increase since the model is explaining why y differs from zero but after initially increasing, the r-square started to decrease again. I used both SAS and NCSS to double check my results. I must be forgetting something (notice how I avoided saying that I haven't the foggiest idea why). Any explanations?
