adjusted r-square

2001-08-21 Thread Atul
I have a doubt regarding adjusted r-square How do we calculate the adjusted r-square when the error degrees of freedom are zero ? (or in other words, number of samples is equal to the number of regression terms including the constant) Such a situation leads to a zero in the denominator in the e

"Metric" as a noun is well established, though I sense that it's being used in this way more frequently than before. Check some dictionaries. A very good one online is http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary , which gives 3 definitions for the noun; the one you're referring to sounds like "2 : a

The formula wich gives the Standard Deviation , SD=((x-mean)^2/(n-1))^0.5 ,can be applied to Any data set. When we have that value we know two things about the set: The Mean and the SD. With this two values We can have one powerful intuitive use to them: The "centre" of the set is the mean and 68

If you are drawing a venn diagram with only two circles of equal radius overlapping, the distance between the centers is a direct (but thorny) function of the common proportion you wish to display. You can come very close with the following formula: y = 3.5179*x^4 - 8.1729*x^3 + 6.8236*x^2 - 4
