Coefficient of determination (R2)

The R2 is the proportion of the dependent variable variance from independent variables.

𝑛 ∑ 𝑥𝑦 − (∑ 𝑥)(∑ 𝑦) (1)
𝑅2 = ( )2
√𝑛(∑ 𝑥 2 ) − (∑ 𝑥)2 √𝑛(∑ 𝑦 2 ) − (∑ 𝑦)2

Relative deviation error

The relative deviation error (𝐸𝑖 ) of the predicted Pb value from the measured value is determined as

follow:

𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑏 − 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑏 (2)

𝐸𝑖 =
𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑏
i = 1, 2, 3, ..., n.

Average percent relative error (APRE)

APRE can be estimated from equation:

Average absolute percent relative error (AAPRE)

Equation 4 is utilized to obtain AAPRE:

R can be determined from:

∑𝑛𝑖=1[𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑏 − 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑏] (5)

𝑅 = √1 −

Standard deviation (SD)

The SD can be given by:

Root mean square error (RMSE)

The RMSE can be determined from equation 7:
