Charts offer a convenient method for analysts to assess the relationship between two variables by plotting a sample as scatterplots and carrying out a linear regression analysis. Through this process, a line of best fit is established, and the R-squared value is computed. This value reflects the extent to which the line captures the relationship between the variables. The R-squared value indicates the degree to which changes in one variable predict changes in the other variable. While some analyses yield high R-squared values (e.g., stock prices versus earnings), others may show low values, as we will demonstrate below. Statistical analyses like these are crucial for market analysis because they reveal that intuitive assumptions about the relationship between variables may not always align with actual observations.
