unusual facts about R-squared



1974 New England Patriots season

The Patriots and Bills squared off in another hard-fought affair as Joe Ferguson threw for 247 yards and a touchdown to Ahmad Rashad while O.J. Simpson was held in check until late in the first half with a touchdown.

2011–12 Stevenage F.C. season

Two minutes after the interval, the home side were level, substitute Harry Arter scoring from Marc Pugh's squared pass.

Cyrus Pitt Grosvenor

Grosvenor described a method in a pamphlet titled The circle squared a method for determining the area of a circle squared that as a result gave a value for π (Pi) that was 3.142135… (Pi is 3.14159…).

D-brane

The Bekenstein entropy is proportional to the black hole mass squared; because the Schwarzschild radius is proportional to the mass, the Bekenstein entropy is proportional to the black hole's surface area. In fact,

Danyah

Following in the footsteps of Gail Kim and Traci Brooks, as well as other fast-rising Canadian female wrestlers who are making their marks across North America, Danyah came to the wrestling business through the Squared Circle Pro Wrestling facility and the Devine Dungeon.

Duenow

Songs were recorded with Steve Albini at his studio Electrical Audio, Danny Schaffer at 4040 studios, dave hutten at Red Squared Studios, and at the home studio of Daniel Pritzker a founding member of local resident and philanthropist Sonia Dada.

E-squared

E-Squared Records, a music label founded by Steve Earle and Jack Emerson

First quantization

The standard geometrical terminology is used; e.g. the norm squared of "?title=orthogonal">orthogonal if \phi\rangle = 0.

Flik

In radio astronomy, the unit flik was coined by a group at Lockheed in Palo Alto, California as a substitute for the SI derived unit W cm−2 sr−1 µm−1, or watts divided by centimeters squared, steradians, and micrometers.

John Donvan

Donvan also serves as moderator of Intelligence Squared, US, a forum that gathers together experts to debate propositions concerning serious topics of public interest in Oxford Union-style debates which may be heard on NPR, and seen on Bloomberg TV or YouTube.

Lucius M. Walker

At dawn on Sunday, September 6, Walker and Marmaduke squared off with Colt Navy revolvers on the north bank of the Arkansas River near Little Rock.

Old Mobile Site

After retracing his route to Biloxi, Iberville landed and constructed Fort Maurepas, a crude fort of squared logs.

Probability distribution

F-distribution, the distribution of the ratio of two scaled chi squared variables; useful e.g. for inferences that involve comparing variances or involving R-squared (the squared correlation coefficient)

Scaled inverse chi-squared distribution

The scaled inverse chi-squared distribution also has a particular use in Bayesian statistics, somewhat unrelated to its use as a predictive distribution for x = 1/s2.

Surama

Surama village extends across 12.95 squared kilometres (5 square miles) of land, and is located in a valley on the border of the Guyanese rainforest and the North Rupununi savannahs.

Sword of the Samurai

Katana, Japanese weapon characterized by distinctive curved, slender, single edged blade, circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate both hands

The Squared Circle

The Squared Circle (abbreviated TSC) is a role-playing game published by Day Dreamer Interactive, in which players play professional wrestlers who work their way to super stardom.

Unsquare Dance

Brubeck points out in his liner notes that "'Unsquare Dance', in 7/4 time, is a challenge to the foot-tappers, finger-snappers and hand-clappers. Deceitfully simple, it refuses to be squared. And the laugh you hear at the end is Joe Morello's guffaw of surprise and relief that we had managed to get through the difficult last chorus".

W. T. Tutte

At his training course, Tutte had been taught the Kasiski examination technique of writing out a key on squared paper, starting a new row after a defined number of characters that was suspected of being the frequency of repetition of the key.

Wald test

The other reason is that the Wald test uses two approximations (that we know the standard error, and that the distribution is chi-squared), whereas the likelihood ratio test uses one approximation (that the distribution is chi-squared).

West Sharyland, Texas

Bryan achieved his greatest fame shortly before his death when he squared off against Clarence Darrow in the famous "Scopes Trial", which tested whether evolution could be taught in the classroom.

Wisdom of the crowd

Scott E. Page introduced the diversity prediction theorem: "The squared error of the collective prediction equals the average squared error minus the predictive diversity".
