[R-sig-phylo] R-squared alternative for gls

2015-07-20 Thread Sergio Ferreira Cardoso
Hello members,

I'm creating relative values os semicircular canal size by fitting a PGLS
and extracting residuals (using phyl.resid). I've heard that R-squared
isn't meaningful in gls models. What I'm trying to do is to know is which
of the two independent variables is best and on a lm () model I would just
check the R-squared. Is the alternative, in the case of gls(), looking at
the AIC or logLik?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Sérgio.

It's not that r squared isn't meaningful for generalized least squares but 
rather that it cannot be compared directly with values from OLS models.

Cheers,
Ted

Dear Dr. Garland,

Then there is no problem because I just need to compare between
phylogenetic models.
Thank you.

Best regards,
Sérgio.
