It is defined as LR = 2 (log likelihood M full – 2 log likelihood M intercept ). The degrees of freedom of this chi squared distributed statistic are equal to the number of constrained parameters i.e. the number of coefficients being tested. 149 This measure of fit is also known as the likelihood ratio index. It compares the full model of parameters (M full ) to a model with just the intercept (M intercept ). It is defined as R 2 = 1 – (log likelihood M full / log likelihood M intercept ) . The value of Mcfadden’s Pseudo R 2 increases as new variables are added.
