  2. Explained variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explained_variation

    Often, variation is quantified as variance; then, the more specific term explained variance can be used. The complementary part of the total variation is called unexplained or residual variation ; likewise, when discussing variance as such, this is referred to as unexplained or residual variance .

  3. Elbow method (clustering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_method_(clustering)

    There are various measures of "explained variation" used in the elbow method. Most commonly, variation is quantified by variance, and the ratio used is the ratio of between-group variance to the total variance. Alternatively, one uses the ratio of between-group variance to within-group variance, which is the one-way ANOVA F-test statistic. [4]

  4. Law of total variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_total_variance

    The part of the variance of "explained" by is the variance of the means of inside each group defined by the values of the . In this case, it is zero, since the mean is the same for each group. So the total variation is

  5. Fraction of variance unexplained - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_of_variance...

    It follows that the MSE of this function equals the variance of Y; that is, SS err = SS tot, and SS reg = 0. In this case, no variation in Y can be accounted for, and the FVU then has its maximum value of 1. More generally, the FVU will be 1 if the explanatory variables X tell us nothing about Y in the sense that the predicted values of Y do ...

  6. Variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

    In probability theory and statistics, variance is the expected value of the squared deviation from the mean of a random variable. The standard deviation (SD) is obtained as the square root of the variance. Variance is a measure of dispersion, meaning it is a measure

  7. Explained sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explained_sum_of_squares

    The explained sum of squares (ESS) is the sum of the squares of the deviations of the predicted values from the mean value of a response variable, in a standard regression model — for example, y i = a + b 1 x 1i + b 2 x 2i + ... + ε i, where y i is the i th observation of the response variable, x ji is the i th observation of the j th ...

  8. Commonality analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonality_analysis

    Commonality analysis is a statistical technique within multiple linear regression that decomposes a model's R 2 statistic (i.e., explained variance) by all independent variables on a dependent variable in a multiple linear regression model into commonality coefficients.

  9. Analysis of variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_variance

    Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a family of statistical methods used to compare the means of two or more groups by analyzing variance. Specifically, ANOVA compares the amount of variation between the group means to the amount of variation within each group. If the between-group variation is substantially larger than the within-group variation ...
