Q. In a linear regression problem, we are using "R-squared" to measure goodness-of-fit. We add a feature in linear regression model and retrain the same model. Which of the following option is true?

  • (A) If R Squared increases, this variable is significant.
  • (B) If R Squared decreases, this variable is not significant.
