... 1) try to put some words of cautions in comparing the present-day, forced and non-steady data from CERES and other instruments with control runs in pre-industrial conditions. I think that is definitely correct, since the authors are considering VERY robust features of the climate system (cfr Lucarin ...

... This isn’t possible either. Thus, we have a fundamental problem with the LPM and forecasts. As a consequence, we need to explore alternatives to the LPM. We want a technique that estimates a 'regression curve' bounded by zero and one (i.e., it asymptotically approaches these two horizontal lines.) M ...

... The sample correlation coefficient between X and Y is 0.375. It has been found out that the p-value is 0.256 when testing H0: ρ= 0 against the one-sided alternative H1: ρ > 0 . To test H0: ρ = 0 against the two-sided alternative H1: ρ ≠ 0 at a significance level of 0.2, the p-value is: This problem ...

Coefficient of determination
In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R2 or r2 and pronounced R squared, is a number that indicates how well data fit a statistical model – sometimes simply a line or a curve. An R2 of 1 indicates that the regression line perfectly fits the data, while an R2 of 0 indicates that the line does not fit the data at all. This latter can be because the data is utterly non-linear, or because it is random.It is a statistic used in the context of statistical models whose main purpose is either the prediction of future outcomes or the testing of hypotheses, on the basis of other related information. It provides a measure of how well observed outcomes are replicated by the model, as the proportion of total variation of outcomes explained by the model (pp. 187, 287).There are several definitions of R2 that are only sometimes equivalent. One class of such cases includes that of simple linear regression where r2 is used instead of R2. In this case, if an intercept is included, then r2 is simply the square of the sample correlation coefficient (i.e., r) between the outcomes and their predicted values. If additional explanators are included, R2 is the square of the coefficient of multiple correlation. In both such cases, the coefficient of determination ranges from 0 to 1.Important cases where the computational definition of R2 can yield negative values, depending on the definition used, arise where the predictions that are being compared to the corresponding outcomes have not been derived from a model-fitting procedure using those data, and where linear regression is conducted without including an intercept. Additionally, negative values of R2 may occur when fitting non-linear functions to data. In cases where negative values arise, the mean of the data provides a better fit to the outcomes than do the fitted function values, according to this particular criterion.
