✦ Synopsis

We present a graphical measure of assessing the explanatory power of regression models with a binary response. The binary regression quantile plot and an area defined by it are used for the visual comparison and ordering of nested binary response regression models. The plot shows how well various models explain the data. Two data sets are analyzed and the area representing the fit of a model is shown to agree with the usual likelihood ratio test.
