Violent Victimization and Women's Mental and Physical Health: Evidence from a National Sample (2005, methodology): “One is the scaled generalized R2 (DeMaris 2002; Maddala 1983), shown simply as “R2” in the tables.”
Standards for Standardized Logistic Regression Coefficients (2011, background): “An anonymous reviewer proposed another theoretical justification of b*M based on DeMaris’ (2002) distinction between explained variance and explained risk in a latent dependent variable expressed as a dichotomy but with an underlying continuous distribution.”
How Well do Institutional Theories Explain Firms' Perceptions of Property Rights? (2005, background): “In fact DeMaris (2002) finds the McKelvey and Zavoina R-square to be the best at estimating explained variance in a study comparing eight R-square analogues36.”
Formal Versus Informal Finance : Evidence from China (2008, unknown): “We choose the MZ R-square statistic since DeMaris (2002) finds the MZ R-square to be the best at estimating explained variance in a study comparing eight R-square analogues.”
Distal and Proximal Factors in Domestic Violence: A Test of an Integrated Model (2003, methodology): “This measure is analogous to R2 in OLS regression and has been shown to be a reasonable measure of explained variance for a qualitative response in binary logistic regression (DeMaris, 2002).”
