Re: st: Model fit-statistic for zero-inflated negative binomial models

[Neeraj Iyer <iyeranna@gmail.com>]

Hello Joe,

Thank you.  I was able to install the 'r2c' package and obtain outputs
for my ZINB models.  I am currently reading about R-Squared measures
based on deviance residuals.  I wanted to ask a few questions that
might help me understand the fit statistics better:

1) Are the fit-statistics output by 'r2c' a measure of overall model
fit or are these a measure of comparative fit (like the Vuong test)?

2) Since the 'r2c' program has been released very recently, have any
studies been published that report using the 'r2c' generated
fit-statistics?  I would like to cite those studies in my
dissertation.

3) Could you direct me to some other papers (apart from Cameron and
Windmeijer 1996) or annotated output that might explain the basis and
interpretation of deviance residuals?

Thanks again.

Regards,
Neeraj
