Dear All:
I need some guidance in calculating a goodness-of-fit statistic for a Tobit
Regression model.
To develop the Tobit regression, I used the tobit() method from the AER
package, which is basically a simpler interface to the survreg() method.

I've read about pseudo R2 and C-index and was wondering if there is a
package that calculates this for me.  Also, is there a reason to select
pseudo R2 over C-Index, or viceversa?

McFadden's pseudo-R^2 can be computed via
  fm <- tobit(...)
  fm0 <- update(fm, . ~ 1)
  1 - as.vector(logLik(fm)/logLik(fm0))
using accessor functions or via computing on the internal structure via
  1 - fm$loglik[2]/fm$loglik[1]

hth,
Z

I will appreciate any suggestions.

Many thanks.
