Slight correction to my previous post. (There is so much confusion with RSS,
TSS, ESS terminology, as different disciplines use different
names/abbreviations for the same things.) What I meant to say is that w/ OLS,
R-squared = (TSS - RSS)/TSS, as defined below, is equivalent to (sum of
squares of yhat-ybar) / TSS. Are these 2 formulas equivalent w/ MLE?
