Likelihood-Ratio-Based R-Squared

Description

Calculate the likelihood-ratio-based R^2 for generalized linear models.

Usage

rsq.lr(fitObj,adj=FALSE)

Arguments

fitObj

an object of class "lm" or "glm", usually, a result of a call to lm, glm, or glm.nb.

adj

logical; if TRUE, calculate the adjusted R^2.

Details

Proposed by Maddala (1983), Cox and Snell (1989), and Magee (1990), this version of R^2 is defined with the likelihood ratio statistics, so it is not defined for quasi models. It reduces to the classical R^2 when the variance function is constant or linear.

Value

The R^2 or adjusted R^2.
