Re: Coefficient of Determination Question -Reply

[Jerrold Zar]

When r^2 is referred to as the "coefficient of variation," 1-r^2 is referred to as the 
"coefficient of nondetermination."  What is, I believe, a much older term for the 
latter is  "coefficient of alienation."  (I am not defending the terms, only reporting 
them.)
