Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of multiple determination (R²) measures the strength of association between the dependent variable and independent variables. The multiple standard error of estimate measures variation about a regression plane. A multiple correlation determination cannot be negative, so (iii) is incorrect.

I the Coefficient of Multiple Determination Reports the Strength of the Association
