anova.DirichletRegModel {DirichletReg}

Compare Dirichlet Regression Models using an LRT

Description

This function allows for pairwise tests of Dirichlet regression models using a likelihood ratio test (LRT).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DirichletRegModel'
anova(object, ..., sorted = FALSE)

Arguments

object

the model to be compared against those listed in ...

...

models to be tested against the one specified as object

sorted

should the models be sorted according to their numbers or parameters?

Details

The test statistic is computed LR=-2\left[\log(L_a)-\log(L_b)\right] where L_i is the likelihood of model i with df equal to the difference of the number of parameters in the models.

Examples

ALake <- ArcticLake
ALake$AL <- DR_data(ArcticLake[,1:3])
mod0 <- DirichReg(AL ~ 1, ALake)
mod1 <- DirichReg(AL ~ depth, ALake)
mod2 <- DirichReg(AL ~ depth + I(depth^2), ALake)
anova(mod1, mod0, mod2, sorted = TRUE)
