R help - Jan 2013 - How to get F values for a Generalized Linear Model?

Dear All,
 
I have fitted generalized linear models with the glm() function from the package
lme4. The statistical values it returns are the z-value and the p-value. Now I
am searching for a way to get the F-values for my models  to use for reporting -
as to my knowledge reporting z-values is not very useful and the F-values
together with the p-values would be desired for the report. I tried the commands
summary(model) , anova(model) noranova.glm(model), but couldnt get the F-values
that way.
 
Is the command stat.anova(table, test =  "F", scale, df.scale, n) the
right choice? If yes, for this I need the 'residual mean square' to use
as scale. But how to extract the 'residual mean square' out of my glm in
R?
 
I am very thankful for your comments and advice!

Your knowledge is insufficient. Your expectations are incorrect.
Either consult someone locally who has sufficient statistical
expertise or do some studying of GLM's. As this is a statistics not an
R question, you might also wish to try posting to a statistics list
instead, like stats.stackexchange.com.

Cheers,
Bert
