logLik.lm {base}R Documentation

Extract Log-Likelihood from an lm Object

Description

If REML = FALSE, returns the log-likelihood value of the linear model represented by object evaluated at the estimated coefficients; else, the restricted log-likelihood evaluated at the estimated coefficients is returned.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'lm':
logLik(object, REML = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

object an object inheriting from class "lm".
REML an optional logical value. If TRUE the restricted log-likelihood is returned, else, if FALSE, the log-likelihood is returned. Defaults to FALSE.
... further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

Value

an object of class logLik, the (restricted) log-likelihood of the linear model represented by object evaluated at the estimated coefficients. Note that error variance σ^2 is estimated in lm() and hence counted as well.
