Quizplus · Accepted Answer

R-squared is particularly informative under passive prediction, which involves predicting future values of the dependent variable based on past values of the same variable. In this type of prediction, the R-squared value indicates the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable(s) included in the regression model.
