  • Pseudo R2 - Interpretation

    I have been reading a lot about that Pseudo R2 is not the same as the OLS R-Squared, but I still can't find a reasonable explanation on how to interpret the Pseudo R2 for my Probit model.
    So the Pseudo R2 I got for my model was = 0.385.

    Is it possible for anyone to explain me how can I interpret and report this number in my results?

    Thanks in advance!

    As far as I've read, all of the various pseudo R2 values for these models aren't very interpretable other than higher indicates a better fit in some sense. If it were me, I would ignore it.

        In general I'd agree bigger is better. But you might be able to do a little more than that.
