Abstract:

ABSTRACT: A large number of different Pseudo-R measures for some common limited 2 dependent variable models are surveyed. Measures include those based solely on the maximized likelihoods with and without the restriction that slope coefficients are zero, those which require further calculations based on parameter estimates of the coefficients and variances and those that are based solely on whether the qualitative predictions of the model are correct or not. The theme of the survey is that while there is no obvious criterion for choosing which Pseudo-R to use, if the estimation is in the context of an underlying latent 2 dependent variable model, a case can be made for basing the choice on the strength of the numerical relationship to the OLS-R in the latent dependent variable. As such an OLS-R can 2 2 be known in a Monte Carlo simulation, we summarize Monte Carlo results for some important latent dependent variable models (binary probit, ordinal probit and Tobit) and find that a Pseudo-R measure due to McKelvey and Zavoina scores consistently well under our criterion. 2
