R help - Oct 2012 - pseudo R-squared for model generated with spgm (splm)

I am working with the splm package. I use the spgm function: general 
estimation of a panel data model. Based on this approach, I know it is 
possible to compute a R2, eg the ratio of variation explained by a given 
model.

My model is :
bivmod<-spgm(logIKA~NBLITRE0+NBLITRE1,data=mydatap,listw=comsKnn.nbW,spatial.error=TRUE)


I know that we can calculate the R^2 as the variance of the fitted 
values from the reduced form of the model (Yfitted) over the variance of 
y (here logIKA).
Since I am using the option lag = FALSE; the fitted value for an error 
model are Yfitted = X\beta.

If I well understood :

*1) We can get X* (NT * k matrix of observations on the non-stochastic 
regressors. with N: spatial units , T: time unit et k : number of 
non-stochastic regressors) with

**
>bivmod$model[,c(2,3)]  # in the matrix of the data used (bivmod$model), 
the first column corresponds to the response variable and the subsequent 
one to regressors).

NBLITRE0 NBLITRE1

ADAM-LES-PASSAVANT-2004 0 0

ADAM-LES-PASSAVANT-2005 0 0

ADAM-LES-PASSAVANT-2006 0 0

ADAM-LES-PASSAVANT-2007 0 0

ADAM-LES-PASSAVANT-2008 0 0

ADAM-LES-VERCEL-2004 0 0


*2) Beta* corresponds to coefficients associated to each regressor : we 
can get them with

**
>bivmod$coefficients
NBLITRE0 NBLITRE1

-0.001131662 -0.001083650


But I do not know what means the " \ " in the formula. I suppose it is
different from "/" which means "divide by ".

Any hint appreciated.

Marion
