I'm not sure I understand what you want, but here is a guess. Let y be the hold out response values. Let y.hat be the model predictions for the corresponding ys.
The key is to remember that R^2 = cor( y , y.hat )^2. So, cor( cbind(y,y.hat))[1,2]^2 should give you a measure you want. -tgs On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 10:06 PM, Brima <adamsteve2...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have used a hold out sample to predict a model but now I want to compute > an R squared value for the prediction.
