R – multiple correlation coefficient; R² – cumulative coefficient of definiteness (coefficient of determination), which shows the part of the dispersion of a dependent variable which is explainable by independent variables; R² revised – based on the sample size and the number of independent variables. Regression is statistically significant when p < 0.001***.
