R-square is the square of the Pearson correlation between predicted and observed response.
R2 = corr(yobs,yhat)^2
for column-vectors yobs and yhat.

Thanks dpd for the link, but it only shows how build the mse formula. Thanks llya, i tried to find the yobs & yhat in the documentation, but can not find it. Where did you find these information?
Thank you!

yobs and yhat are vectors of observed and predicted response values. You already have them. You can find definitions of R2 in many places such as Wikipedia or textbooks.
