Dear R users, I read your methods of extracting the variance explained by each predictor in different places. My question is: using the method you suggested, the sum of the deviance explained by all terms is not equal to the deviance explained by the full model. Could you tell me what caused such problem? > set.seed(0) > n<-400 > x1 <- runif(n, 0,...

Hi all, This is pretty basic but I am not an expert and I couldn't find anything in the forum or my statistics book about it. I was reading a paper and the authors were using both "explained deviance" and "explained variance" as synonyms. They were describing a GAM regression. Is that right? I performed an analysis in R to take a look to the output of GAM regression and I think that: - 'R-sq. (adj)' is the percentage of variance explained by the regression, i...

After doing a PCA using princomp, how do you view how much each component contributes to variance in the dataset. I'm still quite new to the theory of PCA - I have a little idea about eigenvectors and eigenvalues (these determine the variance explained?). Are the eigenvalues related to loadings in R?

Hello fellow R's, I do apologize if this is a basic question. I'm doing some GAMs using the mgcv package, and I am wondering what is the most appropriate way to determine how much of the variability in the dependent variable is explained by each term in the model. The information provided by summary.gam() relates to the significance of each term (F, p-value) and to the "wiggliness" of the fitted smooth (edf), but (as far as I understand) there is no information on the proportion of variance explained. One alternative...

Hello again- Thanks to Prof. Ripley for responding to my previous question. I would like to clarify my question using sample code. I will use some sample code taken from ?prcomp Again, I would like to compare the % variance explained by each PC before and after rotation. < code follows > data(USArrests) pca = prcomp(USArrests, scale = TRUE) # proportion variance explained by each PC prop = pca$sdev^2/sum(pca$sdev^2) # cumulative proportion variance explained by each PC cumProp = cumsum(prop) # following print sta...

Dear all, I am trying to calculate some measure of the amount of variability in the response variable that is explained by a model fitted in lmer m1<-lmer(response-var ~ Condition+(1|Site/Area/Transect),family="binomial") . I've seen from the literature that the precentage of explained deviance is a common measure. How can I calculate it? Thanks a lot for your help, I hope this is not too shallo...

Dear list, I have read several posts on this topic. I would use the same methodology as proposed by Simon Wood in this post: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/variance-explained-by-each-term-in-a-GAM-td836513.html My first question is: Does anyone know a scientific source (paper, book,...) that explains or uses this methodology. I have read several articles, particularly in the field of ecology, that use GAM and I've never read one that dealt with the proportionof...

Hello, I think to use FastICA package for microarray data clusterization, but one question stops me: can I know how much variance explain each component (or all components together) ? I will be very thankful for the help. Thanks, Pavel [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Celine, GLM outputs usually give the null deviance and residual deviance in the summary() term - so you can work out % deviance explained for a variable/model from this. Hope this helps.

...lows: b1 <- gam(y~s(x1)+s(x2)+s(x3),sp=b$sp) b2 <- gam(y~fv1+s(x2)+s(x3),sp=b$sp[-1]) b3 <- gam(y~fv1+s(x1)+s(x3),sp=b$sp[-2]) b4 <- gam(y~fv1+s(x1)+s(x2),sp=b$sp[-3]) b0 <- gam(y~1) And then proceed as in Simon's example, i.e. (deviance(b1)-deviance(b))/deviance(b0) ## prop explained by fv1 (deviance(b2)-deviance(b))/deviance(b0) ## prop explained by x1 etc. Am I more or less on the right track?

Any quick tips? I''ve been getting the SQL Server adapter up to passing for 3.2 and I wanted to test our explain printer. It will be very much like mysql2''s printer.

Hello everybody After doing a MANOVA on a bunch of data, I want to be able to make some comment on the amount of variation in the data that is explained by the factor of interest. I want to say this in the following way: XX% of the data is explained by A. I can acheive something like what I want by doing the following: X <- structure(c(9, 6, 9, 3, 2, 7), .Dim = as.integer(c(3, 2))) Y <- structure(c(0, 2, 4, 0), .Dim = as.integer...

Hi All, I have a left truncated, right censored cox model: coxph(Surv(start, stop, censor) ~ x + y, mydata) I would like to know how much of the observed variance (as a number between 0 and 1) is explained by each variable. How could I do that? Adding terms sequentially and then using anova(mod1, mod2) tells me whether I get a significant improvement of the fit, but does not tell me how much variance I actually explain?

...would help me a lot to be a better R programmer, that I think would probably help many others as well. I put the wish out there in the hopes that someone might think it was worth doing at some point. I wish I had the code of some substantial, widely used package ? lm, say ? heavily annotated and explained at roughly the level of R knowledge of someone who has completed an intro statistics course using R and picked up some R along the way. The idea is that you would say what the various blocks of code are doing, why the authors chose to do it this way rather than some other way, point out coding t...
