An R-squared measure of goodness of fit for some common nonlinear regression models
Article Abstract:
R-squared, or R(supra 2), is a commonly used goodness-of-fit measure for the standard linear regression model. However, a summary statistics of this familiar coefficient of determination have been constructed for other regression, nonlinear models, including logit, probit, Poisson, geometric, gamma and exponential. This R-squared is defined as the proportionate reduction in uncertainty, as measured by Kullback-Leibler divergence, due to the inclusion of regressors. It can also be viewed as the fraction of uncertainty explained by the fitted model.

Regression-based cointegration estimators with applications
Article Abstract:
A generalized two-sided estimator is developed to determine asymptotically efficient estimates of cointegrating relationships and for single equation estimation. The cointegration equation is augmented with leads and lags of short-run variables. A non-linear single equation least squares estimator is also used for weak exogeneity. Applications include modeling stock prices and money demand.
