RsquareAdj: Adjusted R-square

Description

The functions finds the adjusted R-square.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'default':
RsquareAdj(x, n, m, ...)
## S3 method for class 'rda':
RsquareAdj(x, ...)

Arguments

x

Unadjusted R-squared or an object from which the terms for evaluation or adjusted R-squared can be found.

n, m

Number of observations and number of degrees of freedom in the fitted model.

...

Other arguments (ignored).

Value

• The functions return a list of items r.squared and adj.r.squared.

Details

The default method finds the adjusted R-squared from the unadjusted R-squared, number of observations, and number of degrees of freedom in the fitted model. The specific methods find this information from the fitted result object. There are specific methods for rda, cca, lm and glm. Adjusted, or even unadjusted, R-squared may not be available in some cases, and then the functions will return NA. There is no adjusted R-squared in cca, in partial rda, and R-squared values are available only for gaussian models in glm.

The raw $R^2$ of partial rda gives the proportion explained after removing the variation due to conditioning (partial) terms; Legendre et al. (2011) call this semi-partial $R^2$. The adjusted $R^2$ is found as the difference of adjusted $R^2$ values of joint effect of partial and constraining terms and partial term alone, and it is the same as the adjusted $R^2$ of component [a] = X1|X2 in two-component variation partition in varpart.
