F-statistic & Probe(F-statistic)

The F-test for overall significance is a statistical test that assesses whether a linear regression model provides a statistically significant improvement in fit compared to a baseline model that uses the mean of the dependent variable.

In linear regression, the goal is to find the best-fitting line that explains the relationship between the independent variable(s) and the dependent variable. The F-test helps determine if this relationship is statistically significant.

The F-test compares the variability explained by the regression model (explained variance) to the variability not explained by the model (residual variance).

It calculates an F-statistic, which is the ratio of the explained variance to the residual variance. If the F-statistic is sufficiently large, (Exaplained variance (ESS) is large as compared to unexplained varieance which is (RSS))

Note → TSS/ESS/RSS we have already discussed in our earlier post.you must have understanding about this
