Name
RSQ
Synopsis
Use RSQ to find the square of the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient through the specified x and y data points. This is usually called the coefficient of determination in linear regression situations.
To Calculate
=RSQ(Known_Y's,Known_X's)
Both arguments are required for this function.
Example
Figure 15-40 shows how RSQ is used to find the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient for the specified x and y values. The example also shows the results when the SLOPE function is applied to the same values to find the slope of the linear regression line through the points.
