The warning is commented out or it would have been printed: # warning("Some expected counts are less than 5. Use smaller number of groups")
For 23 data points, the default of 10 bins is too many since one of the bins is 0. Eight bins gives the warning, but prints results. You didn't indicate how many bins SPSS used. ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Associate Professor of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Endy BlackEndy Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 10:31 AM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Hosmer Lemeshow test Hi to everybody. I use the following routine (i found it in the internet) to compute the Hosmer-Lemeshow test in the framework of logistic regression. hosmerlemeshow = function(obj, g=10) { # first, check to see if we fed in the right kind of object stopifnot(family(obj)$family=="binomial" && family(obj)$link=="logit") y = obj$model[[1]] # the double bracket (above) gets the index of items within an object if (is.factor(y)) y = as.numeric(y)==2 yhat = obj$fitted.values cutyhat=cut(yhat,quantile(yhat,0:g/g),include.lowest=TRUE) obs = xtabs(cbind(1 - y, y) ~ cutyhat) expect = xtabs(cbind(1 - yhat, yhat) ~ cutyhat) if (any(expect < 5)) # warning("Some expected counts are less than 5. Use smaller number of groups") chisq = sum((obs - expect)^2/expect) P = 1 - pchisq(chisq, g - 2) cat("H-L2 statistic",round(chisq,4)," and its p value",P,"\n") # by returning an object of class "htest", the function will perform like the # built-in hypothesis tests return(structure(list( method = c(paste("Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test with", g, "bins", sep=" ")), data.name = deparse(substitute(obj)), statistic = c(X2=chisq), parameter = c(df=g-2), p.value = P ), class='htest')) return(list(chisq=chisq,p.value=P)) } However when i run it with the data set below i get the value NaN. Using the same data set with SPSS i get a specific value.
