Hosmer-Lemeshow Goodness-of-Fit Test
The Hosmer-Lemeshow test is a statistical test for goodness of fit for the logistic regression model. The data is divided into a number of groups (ten groups is a good way to start). The observed and expected number of cases in each group is calculated and a Chi-squared statistic is calculated as follows:
where Og signifies the observed events, Eg signifies the expected events and ng signifies the number of observations for the gth group, and G is the number of groups. The test statistic follows a Chi-squared distribution with (G-2) degrees of freedom.
Application and Interpretation:
A large value of Chi-squared (with small p-value < 0.05) indicates poor fit and small Chi-squared values (with larger p-value closer to 1) indicate a good logistic regression model fit.
Input and Output:
To run Hosmer-Lemeshow Goodness of Fit function, you can login to Analyttica TreasureHunt and should select the target binary variable and the independent variables in which will be used to build a logistic regression model and perform Hosmer-Lemeshow Goodness of Fit test.
