Welcome to this CFA Level 1 video on fit measures! Today we're diving into how we measure how well a statistical model, specifically a regression model, fits the data. We'll look at two key measures: R-squared and the Standard Error of the Estimate. These measures tell us how well our independent variables explain the variation in the dependent variable, which is crucial for evaluating model performance on the CFA exam.
Now let's dive into R-squared, also known as the Coefficient of Determination. R-squared tells us the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variables. Think of it like this: if we want to predict stock returns based on interest rates, R-squared tells us what percentage of the movement in stock returns can be explained by the movement in interest rates. The formula shows it's the ratio of the variation explained by the model to the total variation in the dependent variable. R-squared ranges from 0 to 100 percent. A higher R-squared means the model explains a larger proportion of the variance, indicating a better fit.
Now let's look at the Standard Error of the Estimate, or SEE. While R-squared tells us the proportion of variance explained, SEE tells us, on average, how far off our predictions are in the units of the dependent variable. The formula involves the Sum of Squared Errors, the unexplained variation, adjusted for the number of data points and variables. It's essentially the standard deviation of the residuals. A lower SEE means the data points are closer to the regression line on average, indicating a better fit and more precise predictions. Unlike R-squared, SEE is measured in the same units as the dependent variable. If you're predicting stock prices in dollars, SEE will be in dollars.
Let's use a simple example to bring these concepts together. Imagine trying to predict a student's test score based on the hours they studied. We have data from four students showing their study hours and test scores. When we run a regression analysis, R-squared tells us what percentage of the variation in test scores can be explained by the hours studied. If R-squared is 85 percent, then 85 percent of why scores differ is linked to study hours. SEE tells us, on average, how many points off our prediction is. If SEE is 3.2 points, our prediction for a student's score is typically within about 3.2 points of their actual score. In practice, you'll see these values in regression output, helping you assess the model's performance.
To wrap up, here are the key points about R-squared and Standard Error for your CFA Level 1 exam. R-squared tells us the proportion of Y variance explained by X, ranging from 0 to 100 percent, with higher values indicating better explanatory power. Standard Error measures the average distance of Y values from the regression line, measured in units of Y, with lower values indicating better fit and more precise predictions. Both measures are essential for evaluating regression model fit in CFA Level 1. R-squared is a relative measure showing explanatory power, while SEE is an absolute measure showing prediction precision. Understanding these measures is vital for interpreting regression results on the CFA Level 1 exam. Thanks for watching and good luck with your studies!
