[R] modEvA D-squared for gamma glm

[Aanchal Sharma]

Hi All,

I am running a generalized linear model with gamma distribution in R (glm,
family=gamma ) for my data (gene expression as response variable and few
predictors). I want to calculate r-squared for this model.

I have been reading online about it and found there are multiple formulas
for calculating R2 (psuedo) for glm (in R) with gaussian (r2 from linear
model), logistic regression (1-deviance/null deviance), poisson
distribution (using pR2 in pscl package, D-squared value from modEvA R
package). But I could not find anything specific to gamma distributions.

Can pscl and modEVA packages be used for gamma distributions as well? or
there is any other formula for doing the same?

Thanks

Regards,

Anchal
