      For jointly distributed random variables (X,Y) having marginal distributions F and G with finite second moments and F continuous, the proportion of Var(Y) explained by linear regression is \([Corr(X,Y)]^ 2\) while the proportion explained by E(Y\(| X)\) can be arbitrarily near 1. However, if the true regression, E(Y\(| X)\), is monotone, then the proportion of Var(Y) it explains is at most \(Corr[Y,G^{-1}(F(X))]\).
