Equation 4.14 has an R2 of 0.933 with a total of 134 number of cases.
The reliability of this equation is discussed under Prediction Accuracy.
The third Eg prediction equation was developed from a limited range
of variables using D? as the basic independent variable. The
resulting equation (Equation 4.15) was later found to be applicable to a
wider range of variables when field measured Dynaflect deflections were
analyzed.
