deviance.gamlss: Global Deviance of a GAMLSS model

Description

Returns the global, -2*log(likelihood), or the penalized, -2*log(likelihood)+ penalties, deviance of a fitted GAMLSS model object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'gamlss':
deviance(object,  what = c("G", "P"), ...)

Arguments

object

a GAMLSS fitted model

what

put "G" for Global or "P" for Penalized deviance

...

for extra arguments

Value

• The value of the global or the penalized deviance extracted from a GAMLSS object.

Details

deviance is a generic function which can be used to extract deviances for fitted models. deviance.gamlss is the method for a GAMLSS object.
