2 2 𝑛−1 Modification of R2(adjustment
Adjusted R Adjusted R = 1 − (1 − R2) 𝑛−𝑘−1
for degrees of freedom)
Adjusted R2 is used to evaluate the value add to the model by
additional explanatory variables.
Adjusted R2 < R2
Adjusted R2 can be negative and may decrease when a new
explanatory variable is added to the model.
