R help - Feb 2008 - R square for Monotone regression

I'm using the monoreg function (with weights) from the fdrtool package.  
How can I calculate the R square for this type of regression?


Thanks for your help,


Thierry

Dear Thierry,
I do not know fdrtool::monoreg(), however I think that the simple R^2 is 
meaningless in thise case. An unconstrained (non-monotonic) fit will 
have always a higher R^2 and more degrees-of-freedom.

A better approach would use any goodness-of-fit criterion penalized for 
the degrees of freedom of the fit itself (for instance AIC, BIC, GCV,..)

Hope this helps you,

vito
