Hi,
I'm new to matlab and trying to teach myself.I'm looking for a bit of help for interpreting the below results. I'm not really sure what I'm looking at here. I have a dependent variable and six independent variables. I'm not sure what the significance of the results are for the R squared, coefficients, t stats etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ordinary Least-squares Estimates
R-squared = 0.0644
Rbar-squared = 0.0457
sigma^2 = 0.0000
Durbin-Watson = 0.4464
Nobs, Nvars = 256, 6
