Hello -

I am analysing some survey data using the svyglm() command in the survey 
package. Since I am doing binomial regression, the family I'm choosing is 
'quasibinomial', since this suppresses the warning that comes about from the 
inclusion of non-integer outcomes due to weights.


I am looking at doing some proper diagnostics of my model. However, the only 
goodness-of-fit method I can see from the mailing list is regtermtest(), which 
essentially tests the significance of additional terms, or the hypothesis that 
the model is better than the intercept.


My questions are:

- is it possible to obtain residual 'working' deviance after the Rao-Scott 
method, which would indicate deviance with respect to the saturated model?

- by way of corrollary (or substitute), can deviance residuals be obtained?

- given that svyglm appears to give the raw residuals through the 
residuals([svyglm object]) command, does anyone know of a good reference on how 
to effectively use pearson residuals for model diagnostics (on the basis that 
deviance ones are unavailable).


Many thanks.
