Cross Validated Asked by phx on December 1, 2020
I need a generalisable way to to calculate $R^2$ from given regression estimates (regression coefficients, variances of variables, covariances between variables, residual variance of the response variable).
Detailed problem and question:
I am estimating a structural equation model with interactions in Mplus
. This so called Latent Moderator Analysis is established and works well enough (using the XWITH
command in Mplus
). However, Mplus
is not able to estimate $R^2$ for such models.
Maslowsky, Jager and Hemken (2014, p. 50) argue that one can estimate $R^2$ using a model’s estimated regression coefficients ($beta_{xi}$), variances of the latent predictors ($sigma_{xi}^2$), the covariance(s) between the latent predictors ($sigma_{xij}^2$) as well as the residual variance of the response variable ($sigma_{Yres}^2$).
Unfortunately, the authors present the equation to estimate $R^2$ only for two independent variables (I tested the given equation for a model with two variables and it works fine). I am, however, not able to generalise this equation and to use it with more than two independent variables. Indeed, I need it for four and eventually seven predictors in a regression model.
How can this equation be generalised to more than two variables?
In addition, the authors present this equation to estimate the $R^2$ for the model with interactions (p. 50):
How can this equation be generalised to more than two variables?
In my case I have four (and eventually with the control variables seven) independent variables and three interaction variables (with a $beta_{xixj}$ each). In other words, one moderator variable moderates three main effects on the response variable.
I would be very grateful for help. Many thanks indeed!
