Subject:      Regression Analysis: What is c(p) for?

Hi SAS-Lers!
I'm really sorry to disturb you with such an easy question, but I
don't really understand what C(p) in Proc Reg means. I know it's
Mallow's C(p) statistic, and it's something like r2, but what is the
difference? And what does it mean, when C(p) is negative? Is a large C(p)
good or bad? Any hits or literature?
 
Thanks in advance
