Standard Error of Estimate

A statistical measure that provides an estimation of the standard deviation of the error term in a regression model, indicating the accuracy of predictions.

Coefficient of Determination

A measure in statistical models that indicates the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable predictable from the independent variables, often symbolized as \(R^2\).
