Chapter 4 Describing the Relation between Two Variables
... 1. The linear correlation coefficient is always between –1 and 1, inclusive. That is, –1 ≤ r ≤ 1. 2. If r = + 1, then a perfect positive linear relation exists between the two variables. 3. If r = –1, then a perfect negative linear relation exists between the two variables. 4. The closer r is to +1, ...

Statistical Models in R
... A good model should have predictive value in other data sets and contain only as many explanatory variables as needed for a reasonable fit. To minimize RSS we can set ŷi = yi , for 1 ≤ i ≤ n. However, this “model” may not generalize at all to another data set. It is heavily biased to this sample. W ...

Interaction (statistics)
In statistics, an interaction may arise when considering the relationship among three or more variables, and describes a situation in which the simultaneous influence of two variables on a third is not additive. Most commonly, interactions are considered in the context of regression analyses.The presence of interactions can have important implications for the interpretation of statistical models. If two variables of interest interact, the relationship between each of the interacting variables and a third ""dependent variable"" depends on the value of the other interacting variable. In practice, this makes it more difficult to predict the consequences of changing the value of a variable, particularly if the variables it interacts with are hard to measure or difficult to control.The notion of ""interaction"" is closely related to that of ""moderation"" that is common in social and health science research: the interaction between an explanatory variable and an environmental variable suggests that the effect of the explanatory variable has been moderated or modified by the environmental variable.
