RsquareAdj: Adjusted R-square

Description

The functions finds the adjusted R-square.

Usage

# S3 method for default
RsquareAdj(x, n, m, ...)
# S3 method for rda
RsquareAdj(x, ...)
# S3 method for cca
RsquareAdj(x, permutations = 1000, ...)

Value

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

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.

permutations

Number of permutations to use when computing the adjusted R-squared for a cca. The permutations can be calculated in parallel by specifying the number of cores which is passed to permutest

...

Other arguments (ignored) except in the case of cca in which these arguments are passed to permutest.

Details

The default method finds the adjusted \(R^2\) from the unadjusted \(R^2\), 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 (also used for distance-based RDA), cca, lm and glm. Adjusted, or even unadjusted, \(R^2\) may not be available in some cases, and then the functions will return NA. \(R^2\) values are available only for gaussian models in glm.

The adjusted, \(R^2\) of cca is computed using a permutation approach developed by Peres-Neto et al. (2006). By default 1000 permutations are used.
