R^2 = 1 - \frac{MSE(x, \hat x)}{MSE(x, \bar x)}, \quad 0 \leq R^2 \leq 1

where 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyx = \{ x_1, \, x_2, \, x_3 , ... x_N \}

a observed  variable represented by a discrete data set of numerical samples

LaTeX Math Inline
body\hat x = \{ \hat x_1, \, \hat x_2, \, \hat x_3 , ... \hat x_N \}

predictor of variable

with the same number of samples 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyN
 predicted at the same conditions as the original samples 
LaTeX Math Inline
body \{ x_1, \, x_2, \, x_3 , ... x_N \}

LaTeX Math Inline
body\bar x

mean value of the variable 

LaTeX Math Inline

, which can be considered as some sort of extreme predictor with zero variability

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyMSE(x, \hat x)

mean square error between a variable 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyx
 and its predictor 
LaTeX Math Inline
body\hat x

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyMSE(x, \bar x)

mean square error between a variable 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyx
 and its mean value 
LaTeX Math Inline
body\bar x

...

The coefficient of determination  

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyR^2
 normally ranges between :

  • 0, indicating a course fit, trending to the mean average that prediction error is within the variance of the observed variable around its mean value

and

  • 1, indicating a fine fit, fairly reproducing the variability of the 
    LaTeX Math Inline
    bodyx


The Negative 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyR^2
  values falling outside the above range indicate a substantial mismatch between variable
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyx
 and model prediction 
LaTeX Math Inline
body\hat x
 and have a meaning that gap between predicted and actual values is higher than the variance of the actual data.
