FlexReg (version 1.3.1)

R2_bayes: Bayesian R-squared for flexreg Objects

Description

Bayesian version of R-squared for flexible regression models for bounded continuous and discrete responses.

Usage

R2_bayes(model)

Value

A list with the same length as the number of objects of class `flexreg` passed in the model argument. Each element of the list contains a vector of Bayesian R-squared values with the same length as the Markov Chain(s) after warmup.

Arguments

model

an object (or a list of objects) of class `flexreg`, usually the result of flexreg or flexreg_binom functions.

Details

The function provides a Bayesian version of the R-squared measure, defined as the variance of the predicted values divided by itself plus the expected variance of the errors.
