chisq_gof: Compute model quality

In sjstats: Collection of Convenient Functions for Common Statistical Computations

Compute model quality

Description

For logistic regression models, performs a Chi-squared goodness-of-fit-test.

Usage

chisq_gof(x, prob = NULL, weights = NULL)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector or a glm-object.
prob	Vector of probabilities (indicating the population probabilities) of the same length as x's amount of categories / factor levels. Use nrow(table(x)) to determine the amount of necessary values for prob. Only used, when x is a vector, and not a glm-object.
weights	Vector with weights, used to weight x.

Details

For vectors, this function is a convenient function for the chisq.test(), performing goodness-of-fit test. For glm-objects, this function performs a goodness-of-fit test. A well-fitting model shows no significant difference between the model and the observed data, i.e. the reported p-values should be greater than 0.05.

Value

For vectors, returns the object of the computed chisq.test. For glm-objects, an object of class chisq_gof with following values: p.value, the p-value for the goodness-of-fit test; z.score, the standardized z-score for the goodness-of-fit test; rss, the residual sums of squares term and chisq, the pearson chi-squared statistic.

Examples

data(efc)
efc$neg_c_7d <- ifelse(efc$neg_c_7 < median(efc$neg_c_7, na.rm = TRUE), 0, 1)
m <- glm(
  neg_c_7d ~ c161sex + barthtot + c172code,
  data = efc,
  family = binomial(link = "logit")
)

# goodness-of-fit test for logistic regression
chisq_gof(m)

# goodness-of-fit test for vectors against probabilities
# differing from population
chisq_gof(efc$e42dep, c(0.3,0.2,0.22,0.28))

# equal to population
chisq_gof(efc$e42dep, prop.table(table(efc$e42dep)))
