R² = fraction of variance explained (1.0 = perfect, 0 = no signal). RMSE = root mean squared error (average prediction miss in target units). F-statistic tests whether the model explains more than random chance.
Intercept Interpretation
When all features are at their mean values, the predicted operating margin is -0.06
Coefficients (Standardized)
Target: Operating Margin. Standardized coefficients (-1.0 to +1.0): a one-SD increase in the feature produces this fraction of the strongest effect. *** p<0.001, ** p<0.01, * p<0.05.
