Abstract
Potential competing interests: No potential competing interests to declare.1. R2 is the determination coefficient, not the correlation coefficient.Range of R2 [0,1]; The correlation coefficient lies in [-1,+1].R2 is a regression parameter (statistics), using R2 requires an ANOVA table and significance tests (t-test for slope parameter and F-test for the model) as well.2. There must be numbers in mathematical equations.3. In categorical data, mode should be used as the location parameter.
