Re: st: Statistically significant difference in R Squared

Thanks very much for your helpful response Nick. The gist of what I'm
trying to do is to see whether the data I have conforms to a specified
theoretical model to a greater extent during the second period as compared
to the first. I guess the residual plot should be good enough. Do any
formal tests for something like this exist?
