mhurdle (version 1.0-1)

rsq: R squared and pseudo R squared

Description

This function computes the R squared for multiple hurdle models. The measure is a pseudo coefficient of determination or may be based on the likelihood.

Usage

rsq(object, type = c("coefdet", "lratio"), adj = FALSE, r2pos = c("rss", "ess", "cor"))

Arguments

object

an object of class "mhurdle",

type

one of "coefdet" or "lratio" to select a pseudo coefficient of correlation or a Mc Fadden like measure based on the likelihood function,

adj

if TRUE a correction for the degrees of freedom is performed,

r2pos

only for pseudo coefficient of determination, should the positive part of the R squared be computed using the residual sum of squares ("rss"), the explained sum of squares ("ess") or the coefficient of correlation between the fitted values and the response (cor).

Value

a numerical value

Examples

data("tobin", package = "survival")
#  independent double hurdle model
model110i <- mhurdle(durable ~ age |  quant | 0, tobin,  dist = "n")
rsq(model110i, type = "lratio")
rsq(model110i, type = "coefdet", r2pos = "rss")
