    Note: The R-Squared value is a statistical representation of the quality of a given response fit. R-Squared values will be color-coded to indicate the level of confidence that should be attributed to a given fit. The trade-off tool is very useful for showing trends. It is recommended that a verification run be performed to validate a predicted response.
