<p>I see a fair number of these questions from new members wanting to know how to interpret their model result. This is usually followed by a series of comments explaining that there is no general way to judge whether R<sup>2</sup> (or any other such value) is high or not, that this cannot be answered without more expertise in the field, and so on. This type of question not infrequently ends up being closed as unclear. </p>

<p>Do you think it would be useful to create a question/answer that addresses this general point thoroughly, as a duplicate target for these questions? This question is inspired in part by the useful and popular thread <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/365778/what-should-i-do-when-my-neural-network-doesnt-generalize-well">What should I do when my neural network doesn&#39;t generalize well?</a> </p>
