R-squared: indicates how much variation of a dependent variable is explained by the independent variable(s).
Akaike info: estimates the relative amount of information lost by a given model: the less information a model loses, the higher the quality of that model.
Jarque-Bera prob: indicates if the data have a normal distribution. If it is far from zero, it signals the data do not have a normal distribution.
Coefficient: indicates the change in the dependent variable for one unit of change in the independent variable. A negative coefficient suggests that as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable tends to decrease.
t-statistic: the coefficient divided by its standard error, thus estimating the likelihood that the regression coefficient is different from zero.
p value: estimates what the odds are of the results to have happened. The lower it is, the less likely the results could have happened due to random chance.
