Abstract

In this paper, an extended version of the GFfit statistic is compared to other lack-of-fit diagnostics for models fit to cross-classified binary variables. The extended GFfit statistic is obtained by decomposing the Pearson statistic from the full table into orthogonal components defined on marginal distributions. The extended version of the statistic, GFfit⊥(ij), can be applied to a variety of models for cross-classified tables. Simulation results show that GFfit⊥(ij) has good Type I error performance even if the joint frequencies are very sparse. Asymptotic power calculations and simulation results show that GFfit⊥(ij) has higher power for detecting the source of lack of fit compared to other diagnostics on bivariate marginal tables for binary variables.
