Abstract
The effectiveness of various analytical formulas for estimating R2 Shrinkage in multiple regression analysis was investigated. Two categories of formulas were identified estimators
of the squared population multiple correlation coefficient (p2)
and those of the squared population cross-validity coefficient
(pc 2). The authors compeered the effectiveness of the analytical
formulas for determining R2 shrinkage, with squared population
multiple correlation coefficient and number of predictors after
finding all combination among variables, maximum correlation
was selected to computed all two categories of formulas. The
results indicated that Among the 6 analytical formulas designed to
estimate the population p2, the performance of the (Olkin & part
formula-1 for six variable then followed by Burket formula & Lord formula-2 among the 9 analytical formulas were found to be most stable and satisfactory.
