Logistic Regression Using R


I am running logistic regressions using R right now, but I cannot seem to get many useful model fit statistics. I am looking for metrics similar to SAS:

Does anyone know how (or what packages) I can use to extract these stats?

Thanks


Solution

  • Here's a Poisson regression example:

    ## from ?glm:
    d.AD <- data.frame(counts=c(18,17,15,20,10,20,25,13,12),
          outcome=gl(3,1,9),
          treatment=gl(3,3))
    glm.D93 <- glm(counts ~ outcome + treatment,data = d.AD, family=poisson())
    

    Now define a function to fit an intercept-only model with the same response, family, etc., compute summary statistics, and combine them into a table (matrix). The formula .~1 in the update command below means "refit the model with the same response variable [denoted by the dot on the LHS of the tilde] but with only an intercept term [denoted by the 1 on the RHS of the tilde]"

    glmsumfun <- function(model) {
       glm0 <- update(model,.~1)  ## refit with intercept only
       ## apply built-in logLik (log-likelihood), AIC,
       ##  BIC (Bayesian/Schwarz Information Criterion) functions
       ## to models with and without intercept ('model' and 'glm0');
       ## combine the results in a two-column matrix with appropriate
       ## row and column names
       matrix(c(logLik(glm.D93),BIC(glm.D93),AIC(glm.D93),
               logLik(glm0),BIC(glm0),AIC(glm0)),ncol=2,
         dimnames=list(c("logLik","SC","AIC"),c("full","intercept_only")))
    }
    

    Now apply the function:

    glmsumfun(glm.D93)
    

    The results:

                full intercept_only
    logLik -23.38066      -26.10681
    SC      57.74744       54.41085
    AIC     56.76132       54.21362
