What does r squared tell us? What does it all mean

How should you interpret R squared? what does it really tell us?
this video should help

[@FUTBOLis1]

We need more teachers who, like this guy, are actually excited about the subjects they teach.

[@nicolasdangond1978]

Agreed! That's why we need higher wages for teachers!

[@MichaelDeLaRosa]

Nicolas Dangond as noble as that sounds You must understand, High Quantity doesn’t come with High Quality If teachers were paid like NBA player or Surgeons We would have an surplus in supply of teachers that doesn’t meet the demand. What we really need is the equilibrium

[@duckymomo7935]

Problem is that people are weak in prerequisites for math like they can’t add two fractions together

[@henrmota]

The thing is that he appears as a normal guy with a normal vocabulary talking about statistics as a kid talks about candies.

[@oldeubank]

A born educator. Respect.

[@shishirmaharana4022]

I really got some Feynman feels from his explanation.

[@skeptikai]

This is the only video I have seen that has warranted a comment on how well it was explained. Thank you!

[@heldenhaft4610]

Pizza puts everything in context

[@shishirmaharana4022]

This is why I love 2011-2013 videos. They really put things into perspective. Not like today's teachers who are not at all practical in their thought process. I got some real Feynman feels from his explanation.

[@chinaprise]

What took me 1 hour to read in a textbook was explained in less than 10 minutes. Thanks.

[@quetzalamaru]

Thanks, Professor. Your animated character is like a punch in the face...some times I need that.

[@cyeager2525]

Creative examples, enthusiasm for the topic, a clear explanation AND great hair? I think I'm in love.

[@debraroc627]

cyeager2525 me too....he is gorgeous. I could listen to him talk about statistics all day long.

[@shishirmaharana4022]

@@debraroc627 He reminds me of Feynman.

[@raincarlton3457]

Even though I pay attention in class and do my homework, cutting through the mathematical language is really tough on me. The examples you gave on translating what r-squared is at the end of the video helped me tons. I owe you big time.

[@cynthiahawkins2142]

Mr. Nystrom, THANK you so much. I never leave comments but decided to leave one to let you know your explanation helped me tremendously. Please keep sharing your gift on this subject/area!!

[@lakhanfree317]

Dude I was confused about the topic for months you cleared everything. Now it's even clearer than the crystal. Thanks a lots man. You are the best keep up the good work.

[@helamansung6216]

Freaking awesome. My textbook gave me a robotic definition that just wasn't clicking, but you clarified it beautifully. Keep up the good work!

[@cesar.vasconcelos]

i finally got what r-squared is. thanks sr.

[@charlescaison4376]

Super helpful. You were the only person who helped me understand what R2 really means.

[@wafasalah760]

I think I spent the better half of my day trying to understand what on earth r^2 actually means and you just explained it in 10 mins!! Bless your soul!

[@GroBear007]

exotic cranberries?

[@epvtrinidad]

found it funny actually

[@rebecca_akin]

Because why not

[@dr.curtisbreville3537]

You explain things in a way I comprehend! You give examples and visuals and once I understand what these statistical models are trying to do, they stick. Thank you!

[@amyl8642]

This 10 min video explained this better than all my lectures and notes combined. 10/10

[@TheInnerExpedition]

This is exactly what I was looking for in order to thoroughly explain my presentation tomorrow! Big thank you!

[@thaoha7106]

First time I've found stats explanation so fun and easy to digest. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

[@djmaestrocal]

I have been teaching AP Stats for 6 years and that was the BEST explanation of r-squared I have ever seen. I am sharing this with all my students. Compared to your explanation, mine was a fail. I can't wait to see your other videos that can help me with my own teaching of Stats. Thanks!

[@madisonmafi9173]

Subscribed. I was sick and missed 4 days of math, I though I would never catch up but these videos are really helping make sense of the textbook. Awesome job!

[@fergusryan2149]

Unbe-bloody-lievable. I didn't expect when waking up this morning that my entire life would be changed by someone's explanation of how to interpret R^2. I would like to extent to you an invitation to each Christmas Dinner with my family and I whenever you wish.

[@richardgordon]

Just amazing what a brilliant teacher can teach you! A really complicated concept explained in an interesting and entertaining way in 10 minuets! Kudos!

[@BambiOnIce19]

I don't know about others, but to me, when i have that little bit of confusion about particular terminology in Statistics, you explain it perfectly. Well done to you.

[@gerardbuckley8268]

Awesome. I wish I had watched more of these videos last year. You have become a part of my AP Stat class!

[@ShadowMoone]

You are a fantastic teacher! Thanks for making this so clear. Math is not my thing; but you take what's so complicated and simplify it in a way that even I can understand it! And you crack me up! haha! Thank you so much!!!

[@attainable_sports_cars]

Great explanations, really enjoyed this video. Much better than my professor.

[@minhajansari8272]

You are the best educator I've scene on youtube. Nailed this tricky concept.

[@natashahubbert4438]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Statistic was challenging until I stumbled upon your vid! :) You not only facilitated my understanding, you made learning it fun. Keep these video's coming. P.S. do you have any video's on other subjects?

[@claytonb.6662]

You sir, are a savior, thank you so much for explaining all about r-squared and residuals and all of the other regression formulas, I payed attention in class and still didnt understand it but you explained it perfectly. Thank you so much and just keep on teaching the way you teach.

[@dibopt08]

wow. you made my life easy. Never understood regression analysis so easily before watching this video. Thank you so much :)

[@chyrenecutting8228]

Thank you! I was having trouble remembering the meaning of values from my undergraduate stats class. This was a great reminder!

[@juliawareham5445]

You literally just saved my life... Assignment due in two hours. Did not understand my table. Thank you

[@chris12dec]

What an incredible teacher!

[@deepshome6616]

Thanks a lot MrNystorm. These concepts are really difficult to remember but the way you explain it, one would never forget. Though I scored fairly well in Business Statistics during my MBA I couldn't even tell anyone what is standard deviation if somebody asked me out of the blue until I stumbled across your video.

[@sepidehshirazi4609]

love you, I respect you. After 20 years finally I got it . You are the best of the best.

[@SQDLowkey]

Aw thanks man....this was literally the best video I've seen for understanding R-Squared...

[@maherfamilycircus573]

I'm a university student and you're the first person to explain this so I get it... THANK YOU!

[@uhhGohan]

I was struggling with this concept but you explained it in such a clear way that was easy to understand. Thank you very much you are fantastic at teaching!

[@mwangimndegwa]

Love how you teach keep the fire burning,......we need more teachers like you especially hear in Kenya

[@oneforyes]

you have no idea how much you've helped me! I've read the stats chapter on this 3 times and didn't get it until I watched this.

[@KajiAwaley]

wow, good explanation. Initially, I confused but have patience to listen entire lecture. Superb!!!

[@faseehahmalik8027]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I was slightly confused but this video totally consolidated my understanding.

[@iamhumanbeing7]

MrNystrom I must say that you've done a good job! You clarified my confusion! thanks!

[@simonbru1]

Dude, I love the way you teach stats. You cut out the jargon and keep it simple for people new to stats. Cheers.

[@mihaip6449]

The greatest teacher! Crystal clear as usual.

[@jasoncowan4357]

Very well done! Thanks for doing these videos. Truly amazing. Love your passion.

[@robhuntington8504]

Wow- Not to give you a big head but...after watching between 7:20 and 7:50 I was like "Holy crap this is a good explanation. That's was the icing on the cake for my understanding" Was honestly a little blown away at how helpful this was. Another knock out of the park sir.

[@seunvictoria2580]

Your explanation has helped me understand how to interpret my research model. You're an awesome teacher

[@vontressasalaam423]

Dang!!! For the first time I can honestly say i understand!!!! Thank you for such a thorough explanation!!

[@anthonysmith5252]

Best video of r2 Ive seen so far after watching numerous vids in my opinion.

[@mrityunjaypathak8792]

Liked the way, the concept was explained ! Many Thanks.

[@mike-yj5mm]

most helpful video clips I've ever seen. Help me a lot. Thank you

[@smarikamishra1769]

Lol wat a teacher, enthusiastic and cute. Loved yur teaching style.

[@choprafamilyadventures8349]

Ok I initially hated you in the first 1 minute but after I got passed that I was glad I did. Thanks! This is great! And I like how you explain everything!

[@sudhansukumaryadav8319]

REALLY! It's all about the love for the subject. He is absorbed in the content of discussion .I love this.

[@route66minion]

Awesome, thanks for posting! Love your style and passion!

[@shivinderk]

Excellent teacher! Loved his efforts...such clarity

[@amirnoorani5017]

I know nothing about Math but the way you taught R squared, I'm sure will never forget it. thanks bro and keep up the good work

[@sagarravalia2345]

Totally deserves a comment! Extremely clear. Repetitive? Yes, but that's what is needed to explain really well ☺️

[@lucaimpellizzeri2435]

Thank you! You were a way more helpful than our stats professor! Bye

[@RheniumGateWizard]

Thank you so much!!! I've never learned so much in 10 minutes! :D

[@chenosinkips1426]

Itz 2020 and you have been a life saver. Thank you so much

[@xp_pk]

Honestly, R^2 has been more confusing than calculus, until I watched this video. Thank you sooo much.

[@m1ni548]

You are by far one of the best teachers I´ve ever had school or not

[@cairosoncar5522]

This was uploaded 9 years ago... wow. Anyway Thank you, that was explained really good!

[@mariapersaud9685]

GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL. BECAUSE OF YOU I HAVE A CHANCE OF PASSING MY QUIZ TOMORROW

[@sheffturner]

Thank you for explaining this. You are definitely better than my stats teacher. lo . Subscribed!

[@tritux]

It´s the first time that I find interesting a stadistics class!! good job!

[@fanearnshaw9125]

Thank you!!! This is the clearest explanation on youtube so far.

Excellent Video. Thanks for such a crisp explanation. Keep up the good work.

[@ou81y]

You sir are amazing at teaching! Don't stop, continue on. Forever.

[@MktNinja]

By far best explanation of concept of R-sq. Other vidz focus 2 much on the math and not on application of concept.

[@heatherbartlett3666]

Thank you for these videos! You have a wonderful teaching style.

[@DaSauceSaini]

Thank you! This is a must watch. Will share with my classes.

[@bryansenkercpa5666]

8:10, R^2, the variability in Y explained by the model. Great video Sir!

[@doaataqi9886]

I thought I will never understand stat..... thanks a million you have just saved my future :)

[@gabe7288]

This was so helpful for my final!!! Thank you so much!

[@crystalshredder]

You're awesome. Thank you for the video! I understood the concept a lot better.
