[OTDev] r-square computation in validation changed

Hello All,

I just changed the r-square computation within the validation service. So
far I used the squared sample correlation coefficient. However, it seems
that the more common way to compute r-square is 1 - SSE/SST (thats how it is
computed in R as well).
I updated the validation statistics page (
http://opentox.org/data/documents/development/validation/validation-statistics)
accordingly.

Best regards,
Martin
