Source: Hedderich, Sachs and Reynarowych, Applied Statistics: Methods Using R, section 8.2.7 "Variable Selection Method", printed page 813, equation (8.38): \(R2_a = 1 - [RSS / (n - (p + 1))] / [SSY / (n - 1)] = 1 - (n - 1)/(n - (p + 1)) (1 - R2)\), with p the number of independent variables excluding the intercept. The point the book makes in giving it: R2 never decreases when a variable is added, so models of different size must be compared on R2_a.
