How are r and r 2 interpreted?
The value of r (Correlation coefficient) is always between +1
and –1.
r interpreation is depends upon r value
Exactly –1. A perfect (negative) linear relationship
–0.70. A strong (negative) linear relationship
–0.50. A moderate (negative) relationship
–0.30. A weak (negative) linear relationship
0. No linear relationship
+0.30. A weak (positive) linear relationship
+0.50. A moderate (positive) relationship
+0.70. A strong (positive) linear relationship
Exactly +1. A perfect (positive) linear relationship
R^2 is interpreted as the proportion of response variation "explained" by the regressors/independent variable in the model.
