Subject:      Proportion of Variance Explained by Each Predictor in Logistic
              Regression
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I would like to calculate the proportion of the variance explained by each
predictor in a multiple logistic regression (see for example Lai et al.
(2002) Urology 56:108-115, Radical prostatectomy: geographic and
demographic variation).

Lai et al. wrote their own program to do this (I don't know in what – maybe
S-PLUS).

I have received a macro that calculates some R2 values by pulling out of
PROC LOGISTIC the INTERCEPT (OUT=...) and XBETA and P (OUTEST=...) and
going on from there, but it does not calculate the contributions to PVE
from each predictor.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thank you,
