evd (version 1.2-3)

anova.evd: Compare Nested evd Objects

Description

Compute an analysis of deviance table for two or more nested evd objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'evd':
anova(object, object2, \dots)

Arguments

object

An object of class "evd".

object2

An object of class "evd" that should represent a model nested within object.

...

Further successively nested objects.

Value

• An object of class c("anova", "data.frame"), with one row for each model, and the following five columns
• M.Df
  The number of parameters.
• Deviance
  The deviance.
• Df
  The number of parameters of the model in the previous row minus the number of parameters.
• Chisq
  The deviance minus the deviance of the model in the previous row.
• Pr(>chisq)
  The p-value calculated by comparing the quantile Chisq with a chi-squared distribution on Df degrees of freedom.

Warning

Circumstances may arise such that the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic is not chi-squared. In particular, this occurs when the nested model is constrained at the edge of the parameter space. It is up to the user recognize this, and to interpret the output correctly.
