vresidual: Variance-Function-Based Residuals

In rsq: R-Squared and Related Measures

Variance-Function-Based Residuals

Description

Calculate the variance-function-based residuals for generalized linear models, which are used to calculate the variance-function-based R-squared.

Usage

vresidual(y,yfit,family=binomial(),variance=NULL)

Arguments

y	a vector of observed values.
yfit	a vector of fitted values.
family	family of the distribution.
variance	variance function (specified by family by default).

Details

The calcualted residual relies on the variance function, and is well-defined for quasi models. It reduces to the classical residual when the variance function is constant or linear. Note that only the variance function is required to specify, via either "family"" or "variance".

Value

Variance-function-based residuals.

yfit <- cbind(tbn$fitted.values, 1-tbn$fitted.values)
vr0 <- vresidual(matrix(0,2,1),yfit[,1],family="binomial")
vr1 <- vresidual(matrix(1,2,1),yfit[,2],family="binomial")
y[,1]*vr0+y[,2]*vr1
