There are several misconceptions when interpreting the values of the coefficient of determination, R2, in simple linear regression. R2 is heavily dependent on sample size n and the type of data being analyzed but becomes insignificant when working with very large sample sizes. In this paper, we comment on these observations and develop a relationship between R2, n, and the level of significance α, for relatively small sample sizes. In addition, this paper provides a simplified version of the relationship between R2 and n, by comparing the standard deviation of the dependent variable, Sy, to the standard error of the estimate, Se. This relationship will serve as a safe lower bound to the values of R2. Computational experiments are performed to confirm the results from both models. Even though the focus of the paper is on simple linear regression, we present the groundwork for expanding our two models to the multiple regression case.

Research in fields other than education has found that studies with small sample sizes tend to have larger effect sizes than those with large samples. This article examines the relationship between sample size and effect size in education. It analyzes data from 185 studies of elementary and secondary mathematics programs that met the standards of the Best Evidence Encyclopedia. As predicted, there was a significant negative correlation between sample size and effect size. The differences in effect sizes between small and large experiments were much greater than those between randomized and matched experiments. Explanations for the effects of sample size on effect size are discussed.

<p>Optimizing the management of potential areas would provide additional revenue for the region. This research aims to assess whether the government in the counties and cities in Central Java province has been optimally manage their potentials so as to provide benefits beupa increased local revenues derived from the wealth management area. Through the relationship between the variables of the original income (PAD) and the Gross Domestic Product (GRDP) in the counties and cities in Central Java is expected to be known whether each area has been optimal in obtaining local revenue. The data used is data sekuder form of data revenues and GRDP in counties and cities in the province of Central Java during the years 2011-2013 were berusmber from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), Report of Realized APBD, and RPJMD Central Java.</p><p>Methods of data analysis in this research is to use a simple linear regression analysis (OLS Model) and design analysis group. The analysis showed the existence of ties between the GRDP and the PAD. The magnitude of the relationship analyzed by simple linear regression, where the results indicate a positive trend. That is, there is a directly proportional relationship anatara GRDP and PAD. The coefficient of determination of 99.9% explained that the GRDP variable can be explained by the variable revenue of 99.9%, while 0.1% is explained by other variables.</p><p>The analysis showed that the GRDP value of the coefficient b&gt; b PAD either at the district, town and overall. These results indicate that there has been no attempt by the government to manage PAD so as to generate the GRDP increase. The government can manage the outcome of PAD to be used in a way that increases the GRDP obtained. As for the test results to determine differences in optimizing the management of local revenue between districts and cities showed that the district can generate GRDP is greater with smaller PAD. It shows that the effort made by the district is more efficient than the effort undertaken by the municipality.</p><p>Spatial analysis shows a comparison of the GRDP against the PAD in each county and city in Central Java province is divided into four clusters. Each cluster has a distinct regional characteristics seen from economic activity. The results of the socio-economic analysis of the economy in Central Java province when seen from the conditions of employment, which absorbs the most amount of power keraja is in the agricultural sector, which amounted to 31%, followed by the trade sector 22% and industry 19%.</p><p>Keyword: Decentralization, PAD, GRDP</p>

ABSTRAK. Ukuran-ukuran ambing merupakan salah satu indikator yang menentukan produksi susu sapi perah. Morfologi ambing dapat digunakan untuk menilai produktivitas ternak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara ukuran-ukuran ambing, produksi susu dan komponen susu. Materi yang digunakan yaitu 30 ekor sapi (Friesian Holstein) FH periode laktasi III-V dan bulan laktasi 3-4. Analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi linier sederhana dengan SPSS 16. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan yang nyata (P 0,05) antara kedalaman ambing belakang dan panjang ambing terhadap produksi susu secara berturut-turut dengan persamaan regresi Y = -1,142 + 0,435 X (r = 0,494 dan R2 = 0,244),Y = -9,197 + 0,463 X (r = 0,625 dan R2 = 0,390), lebar ambing belakang terhadap produksi susu dan jarak antar puting depan dengan produksi susu dengan persamaan regresi secara berturut-turut Y = 1,236 + 0,28 X (r = 0,397 dan R2 = 0,157) dan Y = 17,203-0,996 X (r = 0,367 dan R2 = 0,134). Kesimpulan yang didapat bahwa ada hubungan antara ukuran-ukuran ambing dengan produksi susu sapi Friesian Holstein, dimana terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kedalaman ambing belakang, panjang ambing serta lebar ambing belakang dan jarak antar puting depan dengan produksi susu dengan koefisien korelasi (r) tertinggi sebesar 0,625 dan koefisien determinasi (R2) sebesar 39%.  (Relationship between udder morphology, milk production and milk components of friesian holstein cows) ABSTRACT. The size of the udder is one indicator that determines the production of dairy cows. The udder morphology can be used to assess livestock productivity. This study aimed to determine the relationship between udder measurements, components of milk and milk production. The material used was 30 Holstein Friesian (FH) lactation periods III-V and lactation months 3-4. The analysis used was a simple linear regression with SPSS 16. The results showed a significant relationship (P 0.05) between the depth of the udder and length of the udder to milk production in a row with the regression equation Y = -1,142 + 0,435 X (r = 0,494 and R2 = 0,244), Y = -9,197 + 0,463 X (r = 0,625 and R2 = 0,390), width of the rear udder to milk production and the distance between the front nipple and milk production with consecutive regression equation Y = 1,236 + 0,28 X (r = 0,397 and R2 = 0,157) and Y = 17,203 – 0,996 X (r = 0,367 and R2 = 0,134). The conclusion that there is a relationship between udder measurements with Holstein Friesian milk production, where there is a significant relationship between the depth of the udder, udder length and width of the udder and the distance between the front nipples with milk production with the highest correlation coefficient (r) of 0,625 and the coefficient of determination (R2) of 39%.

Leaf cuticle micromorphology has been cited as an important set of taxonomic characters in gymnosperms, but previous studies have largely been based on small sample sizes. The premise of this study was to understand whether external factors affect cuticular micromorphology of Podocarpaceae. Two example species, Prumnopitys andina and Podocarpus salignus, were studied. Of 21 sampled characters, nine (c.43% of the total) were visually assessed as being moderately reliable or highly reliable for taxonomic discrimination for both species, with an additional six (c.29%) being moderately reliable or highly reliable for only one or other of the example species, and six characters (c.29%) unreliable for both. Seven of the most variable stomatal characters were selected for further analysis to establish whether environmental factors affect them. The relationship between these seven stomatal characters, the environment and climate was analysed using the R ‘vegan’ package and climate data gathered from WorldClim. Our results showed that both species had larger stomata in moist and shady conditions, and a higher density of (smaller) stomata in sunny and drier conditions. An additional novel finding was the presence of stomata on the adaxial leaf surface in 46% of samples of Prumnopitys andina: the first record of adaxial stomata in this species, highlighting the necessity of studying multiple samples of a given species. In conclusion, these results indicate that larger sample sizes than have hitherto been employed in cuticle micromorphological studies are necessary to fully document the amount of phenotypic variation that exists.
