Purpose. Coefficient of determination (R-squared) indicates the proportionate amount of variation in the response variable y explained by the independent variables X in the linear regression model. The larger the R-squared is, the more variability is explained by the linear regression model.
The correlation coefficient, denoted by r, is a measure of the strength of the straight-line or linear relationship between two variables. The correlation coefficient takes on values ranging between +1 and -1. The following points are the accepted guidelines for interpreting the correlation coefficient: 1  0 indicates no linear relationship. + 2 1 indicates a perfect positive linear relationship: as one variable increases in its values, the other variable also increases in its values via an exact linear rule.
