ebrahim.gof 1.0.0
Initial Release
This is the first release of the ebrahim.gof package, implementing
the Ebrahim-Farrington goodness-of-fit test for logistic regression
models.
Features
- Main Function:
ef.gof() - Performs the
Ebrahim-Farrington goodness-of-fit test
- Dual Mode Support:
- Ebrahim-Farrington test with automatic grouping for binary data
- Original Farrington test for grouped binomial data
- Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed help files
and vignette
- Robust Testing: Extensive test suite with edge case
handling
- Input Validation: Thorough parameter checking and
error messages
Key Capabilities
- Binary Data: Automatic grouping of binary (0/1)
responses
- Grouped Data: Support for binomial data with
multiple trials
- Flexible Grouping: User-specified number of groups
(G)
- Statistical Rigor: Based on Farrington’s (1996)
theoretical framework
- Sparse Data: Optimized for sparse and challenging
datasets
Advantages over Existing
Tests
- Better Power: More sensitive than Hosmer-Lemeshow
test
- Simplified Implementation: Easy-to-use
interface
- Theoretical Foundation: Rigorous asymptotic
properties
- Computational Efficiency: Fast execution for binary
data
Technical Details
- Test Statistic: Uses modified Pearson chi-square
with correction term
- Distribution: Standard normal under null
hypothesis
- Expected Value: G - 2 for grouped binary data
- Variance: 2(G - 2) for grouped binary data

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
