R-squared and variance relation
According to Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_of_variance_unexplained
$1 - R^2 = VAR_{err}/VAR_{tot}$
Where $VAR_{err} = sum_{i = 1}^N (y_i - hat{y}_i)^2$
is the variance of the residuals.
I don't see how this is correct, unless the residuals have mean zero. To see this, define the residuals:
$e_i = y_i - hat{y}_i$
The variance of the residuals is:
$sum_{i = 1}^N (e_i - bar{e}_i)^2 =
sum_{i = 1}^N (y_i - hat{y}_i - bar{e}_i)^2 $
Do you disagree or is Wikipedia wrong?

Note that in OLS regression with an intercept term, due to the "first order condition", when you take derivative w.r.t. $beta_0$ you have
$$
-2sum_{i=1}^n (y_i - hat{beta}_0 - hat{beta}_1x_{1i} - cdots hat{beta}_px_{pi}) = -2sum e_i =0,
$$
hence
$$
bar{e}_n = 0,
$$
thus
$$
hat{sigma}^2 = frac{1}{n}sum(e_i - bar{e})^2 = frac{sum e_i ^ 2}{n}.
$$

Thanks for the answer, but this not only hold for linear models? I think Wiki is wrong since it treats the more general case, but still imposes this assumption.
