Confidence intervals for improvement in R-squared are generated using the DeltaRSqNB() function from the betaNB package. In this example, we use the data set and the model used in betaNB: Example Using the BetaNB Function.

df <- betaNB::nas1982

Regression

Fit the regression model using the lm() function.

object <- lm(QUALITY ~ NARTIC + PCTGRT + PCTSUPP, data = df)

Nonparametric Bootstrap

nb <- NB(object)

Improvement in R-squared

Normal-Theory Approach

out <- DeltaRSqNB(nb, alpha = 0.05)
