Re: R squared

Hello- I have a question regarding the use and interpretation of R
squared in business settings. I am interested in knowing if there are
guidelines for R squared that businesses might use when interpreting
it's size. That is, do businesses typically only act on R sqaured's
of .75 or higher, or maybe .90 or higher? Do any sort of standards
exist or is it all subjective?

Thanks

It is the rare question whose answer is R-squared. I've never encountered one. Things like "standard error of the estimate" are almost always more to the point.

Begin by asking your question in simple English. Then ask yourself whether R squared, whatever its value, will resolve it. If not (probably not) state what you need in simple English. Then, see if there is a quantitative measure that corresponds to what you said in simple English.
