How is the R2 value calculated, and what information does this give you?

What will be an ideal response?

R2 = RSS/TSS = 1 - (ESS/TSS), where TSS = sum of squared deviations of the sample values of Y from their mean, RSS = sum of squared deviations of the estimated values from their mean, and ESS = sum of the squared deviations of the sample values from their estimated values. The R2 value tells you what percentage of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by variation in the independent variables, or the "goodness of fit" of the equation. In this case, 65% of the variation in quantity demanded is explained by variation in the independent variables.
