Jun 11, 2019 at 22:23 comment added Tom Wenseleers @Glen_b Given that Poisson GLMs are fit using iteratively reweighted LS, could one also not use the R2 calculated from the weighted MSE of the weighted LS fit of the last IRLS iteration with which the GLM is fit, as in stats.stackexchange.com/questions/412580/… ?

Oct 5, 2013 at 18:46 comment added Zach Ok, thanks for all the comments-- they've been very useful.
Oct 4, 2013 at 23:17 comment added Glen_b Thanks for responding, Zach. In that case, I don't know. I think that it's still possible to generate an analogous metric, but I don't presently know enough about GBMs to be sure.

Oct 4, 2013 at 19:26 comment added Zach GBM - generalized boosted model. I'm using the GBM package in R.
Oct 3, 2013 at 22:54 comment added Glen_b Uh, and spell out what GBM stands for when you do, please? Is it Generalized Boosted Regression model? Something else?
Oct 3, 2013 at 22:46 comment added Glen_b Could you put the additional things you're asking for in your actual question?

Oct 3, 2013 at 17:33 comment added Zach Hmmm, so how would I calculate deviance for the GBM, in order to compare the models? Also, I'm trying to calculate this metric on a test set of new data, that wasn't used for fitting the model.

Oct 3, 2013 at 3:02 comment added Glen_b Poisson regression at least should give you a deviance automatically
Oct 3, 2013 at 2:59 comment added Zach A couple of different ways, ranging from a penalized poisson regression to a gbm. I'm looking for a good error metric to compare different models. Thanks for the advice.
Oct 3, 2013 at 0:02 comment added Glen_b Deviance. How are you fitting your Poisson model?
Oct 2, 2013 at 23:54 comment added Zach @Glen_b what's the formula for deviance?
Oct 2, 2013 at 22:22 comment added Glen_b For Poisson models you could use the deviance; which is akin to a MSE but better suited to a Poisson. If you samples sizes aren't small, a weighted MSE would be quite similar.
