Residual Sum of Squares (RSS)

RSS is the aggregated squared residuals of all of the data. This is shown with the formula:

RSS=e12+e22+...+en2RSS = e_1^2 + e_2^2 + ... + e_n^2 or alternatively, RSS=i=1n(yiβ^0β^1xi)2RSS=\sum_{i=1}^n (y_i-\hat{\beta}_0-\hat{\beta}_1x_i)^2, where β^0,β^1\hat{\beta}_0, \hat{\beta}_1 are the model parameters.

The RSS should be a smaller or lower value in any regression model. The smaller the RSS, the better the model fits the data
