Dear Erasmo,

I don't whether you have some specific reasons to
compare R2's for your  
models. I was always taught to be careful with R2.

So my personal preference would be to use the
likelihood ratio test as you  
can use the asymptotic properties of your data. It is
also a simple and  
convenient for comparing nested models.

I hope that I am not confusing you with my advice, as
I am only learning  
and can be wrong. I hope the experts will comment on
it.


Kind regards,
Olga
