Expert subject Statistics date September 2009 In statistics , the explained sum of squares ESS , alternatively known as the Model Sum of Squares or Sum of Squares due to Regression, is a quantity used in describing how well a model, often a regression analysis regression model , represents the data being modelled. In particular, the explained sum of squares measures how much variation there is in the modelled values and this is compared to the total sum of squares , which measures how much variation there is in the observed data, and to the residual sum of squares , which measures the variation in the modelling errors. Definition The explained sum of squares ESS is the sum of the squares of the deviations of the predicted values from the mean value of a response variable, in a standard regression model for example, nowrap 1 y sub i sub a b sub 1 sub x sub 1 i sub b sub 2 sub x sub 2 i sub ... &epsilon sub i sub , where y sub i sub is the i sup th sup observation of the response variable , x sub ji sub is the i sup th sup observation of the j sup th sup explanatory variable , a and b sub i sub are coefficient s, i indexes the observations from 1 to n , and sub i sub is the i sup th sup value of the error term .

It explores the ritual sacrifice of children to appease the pantheon of Haitian Vodou Myths and misconceptions voodoo deities, through the currently used practice of Santer a . This is by no mean accurate, as the practice of Santer a has never practiced nor condoned the sacrifice of humans, much less children, but the novel depicts the various deities and personas commonly seen in Santer a, and it attempts to explain the connection between Santer a and voodoo. This religion is huge, complex and living in our midsts. Sacrifices must be made to save the world, or so they believe. Anthropologist Cal Jamison intends to study Santaria but finds himself hopelessly ensnared. Trying to help a NY cop discover the killers of several children, he gets in over his head and finds his 7 year old son Chris is in jeopardy. What is the price needed to ensure good?
