Calculates Efron's pseudo R2.

Usage

r2_efron(model)

Arguments

model

Generalized linear model.

Value

The R2 value.

Details

Efron's R2 is calculated by taking the sum of the squared model residuals, divided by the total variability in the dependent variable. This R2 equals the squared correlation between the predicted values and actual values, however, note that model residuals from generalized linear models are not generally comparable to those of OLS.
