R2 on Multivariate Scatterplot matrix

Hi,

 

Is there a way to show R2 (instead of R) on the Multivariate Scatterplot matrix?

 

Thank you!

Re: R2 on Multivariate Scatterplot matrix

The scatter plot matrix contains all possible two-variable combinations of continuous variables. The r statistic measures the linear correlation between two such variables. R square is the coefficient of determination. It is a statistic about the proportion of the variation in the response that is related with changes in the factor levels through the model. So R square is not relevant to the pair-wise correlations.

Mark already gave you the answer.  To get estimates of R-squares consider fit model platform.
