The Standard Error of Estimate is easily calculated from the ANOVA table using the following formula:<\/p>\n<p>$$\\text{Standard Error of Estimate}(S_e)=\\sqrt{MSE}=\\sqrt{\\frac{\\sum_{i\\ =\\ 1}^{n}\\left(Y_i-\\hat{Y}\\right)^2}{n-2}}$$<\/p>\n<p>The standard error of estimate, coefficient of determination, and F-statistic are the measures that can be used to gauge the goodness of fit of a regression model.
