Regression models are a powerful statistical tool for understanding the relationship between input variables and an output variable. Two commonly used performance metrics for assessing regression model fit are R-squared and adjusted R-squared. In this description, we'll discuss these metrics, their interpretation, and why adjusted R-squared is often preferred over R-squared in certain cases.

R-squared, or the coefficient of determination, measures the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is explainable by the independent variables in the regression model. It ranges from 0 to 1, and a larger R-squared value indicates a better fit between the observed data and the fitted model. However, R-squared can be misleading when adding more explanatory variables, as it tends to increase even when additional variables don't contribute to the model's explanatory power.

Adjusted R-squared is an extension of R-squared that penalizes the addition of unnecessary variables. It not only considers the improvement in fit from adding a new variable but also the loss in degrees of freedom. By comparing the ratio of explained variance to the total variance, adjusted R-squared provides a more reliable comparison between models with different numbers of predictors.

To further improve your understanding of regression models and their performance metrics, we recommend studying the following resources:

1. "An Introduction to Statistical Learning" by Gareth James, Daniela Witten, Trevor Hastie, and Robert Tibshirani
2. "Regression Models for Time Series Data" by George E.P. Box and George M. Jenkins
3. "Applied Econometric Time Series" by Jeffrey M. Wooldridge

By understanding R-squared and adjusted R-squared, you'll be able to evaluate the quality of regression models and make informed decisions about model selection and improvement.
