Thanks, Nick. Right, it should be gologit2. So it is McFadden's Pseudo R^2.
Can I simply use the difference of the pseudo's R^2 of model with the
focal variable and that without to explain the increased explanatory
power? pseudo-R2 (with the variable)-pseudo-R2 (without the
variable)=(L1(with)-L1(without))/L0. Can I use this result as the
increased explanatory power? Are there any other ways to answer the
question of "how much more likely is the predictor able to predict the
change of categorical dependent variable"
Thanks very much for your explanation.
Gao
