Notes

The adjusted R square term:

Similar to the R squared term, the adjusted R squared term measures the explanatory power of a regression model by measuring how well the data points fit the curve or equation predicted by a regression model. The adjusted R squared also takes into account the number of terms that have been added to the model to adjust the R square. It has a tendency to decrease if irrelevant terms have been added to the model and increase if more useful terms are added in. The adjusted R squared can sometimes be negative, if there are too many explanatory variables that weakly predict the model, given the amount of observations. The closer an adjusted R squared value is to 1, the more accurate explanatory power the model has.

The published Disability Free Life Expectancy estimates for the period 2013-15 can be found in the Health State Life Expectancy pivot table
