Is it correct to say one 'estimates' or 'measures' r-squared? I am writing a report and am unsure about whether is correct to say one 'measures' r-squared or whether one 'estimates' it. I know the two words have two different semantic meanings, probably related to whether you are identifying the 'true' value or not, but as a non-statistician I am finding it hard to decide which is more appropriate.
Or perhaps neither is suitable and a different word is better.
I have searched around a fair amount and couldn't find an obvious answer.

To me, "estimates" sounds weird because the r-squares is not a representation of some hidden object. "Measures" could be okay but I don't hear that so often. I would prefer "calculates" or "computes".
