R: Generalised (Pseudo) R-squared for GAMLSS models

Rsq {gamlss} | R Documentation

## Generalised (Pseudo) R-squared for GAMLSS models

### Description

This function gives the generalised R-squared of Nagelkerke (1991) for a GAMLSS model.

### Usage

    Rsq(object, type = c("Cox Snell","Cragg Uhler","both"))

### Arguments

`object` | a GAMLSS object
`type` | which definition of R squared. Can be the "Cox Snell" or the Nagelkerke, "Cragg Uhler" or "both".

### Details

The `Rsq()` function uses the definition for R-squared:

R-squared =1-(L(0)/L(fitted))^(2/n)

where L(0) is the null model (only a constant is fitted to all parameters) and L(fitted) is the current fitted model. This definition sometimes is referred to as the Cox & Snell R-squared. The Nagelkerke /Cragg & Uhler's definition divides the above with

1-L(0)^(2/n)

### Value

The `Rsq()` produces a single value if type="Cox Snell" or "Cragg Uhler" and a list if type="both".

### Note

The null model is fitted using the function gamlssML() which can create warning messages
