Suppose that you have generated three alternative multiple regression equations to explain the variation in a particular dependent variable. The regression output for each equation can be summarized as follows:
|
Equation 1 Equation 2 Equation 3
|
No. of Xs
|
4
|
6
|
9
|
R2
|
0.76
|
0.77
|
0.79
|
Adjusted R2
|
0.75
|
0.74
|
0.73
