Statistical analysis output that gave a very low R square value, how can it be reported in the discussion section of a research work?

Thank you

Michael John McAleer

The value of R squared is irrelevant.

Consider regressing a variable on itself, which leads to an R squared value of 1.

Still worth reporting?
