Sentence examples for model deviance as from inspiring English sources

Model fit was assessed by inspection of the overdispersion parameter, the model deviance as well as patterns and magnitude of the residuals.

Hair colour showed a highly significant association for all skin tumours, both considering model deviance when entering it as a multi-category variable (P-values: 0.0035 for CMM, 0.0027 for BCC and 0.0071 for SCC) or considering P-values for linear trend when entering it as an interval variable (Table 3).

Model deviance was the measure adopted for comparison.

The model deviances, the range of bootstrapped deviances and the estimated ^c (observed deviance/expected deviance) for each species are shown in Additional file 1 a.

Models were assessed by deviance reduction, as well as by 5-fold cross-validation, with estimated prediction error (EPE) approximated by the negative log likelihood loss function [84].

We used the posterior mean deviance as a Bayesian measure of fit or model adequacy as defined by Spiegelhalter et al. [20].
