bootGOF

Bootstrap based goodness-of-fit tests for (linear) models. Assume you have fitted a statistical model, e.g. classical linear model or generalized linear model or a model that follows Y = m(β^⊤X) + ϵ. This package allows to perform a rigorous statistical test to check if the chosen model family is correct.

Example

First we generate a data-set in order to apply the package.

set.seed(1)
N <- 100
X1 <- rnorm(N)
X2 <- rnorm(N)
d <- data.frame(
  y = rpois(n = N, lambda = exp(4 + X1 * 2 + X2 * 6)),
  x1 = X1,
  x2 = X2)

Note that both covariates influence the dependent variable Y. Taking only one of the covariates into account obviously leads to a model family that is not correct and the GOF-test should reveal that:

fit <- glm(y ~ x1, data = d, family = poisson())

library(bootGOF)
mt <- GOF_model(
  model = fit,
  data = d,
  nmb_boot_samples = 100,
  simulator_type = "parametric",
  y_name = "y",
  Rn1_statistic = Rn1_KS$new())
mt$get_pvalue()
#> [1] 0

On the other hand assuming the correct model family should in general not be rejected by the GOF-test:

fit <- glm(y ~ x1 + x2, data = d, family = poisson())
mt <- GOF_model(
  model = fit,
  data = d,
  nmb_boot_samples = 100,
  simulator_type = "parametric",
  y_name = "y",
  Rn1_statistic = Rn1_KS$new())
mt$get_pvalue()
#> [1] 0.61

…

Installation

You can install it from CRAN

install.packages("bootGOF")

or github

devtools::install_github("MarselScheer/bootGOF")

Tests

After installing the package you can execute the unit tests of the package in your environment by calling:

library(tinytest)
tinytest::test_package("bootGOF")
