Dear r list,   I am using glm.nb in the MASS package to fit negative binomial models to data on manta ray abundance, and AICctab in the bbmle package to compare model IC.  However, I need to test for the goodness of fit of the full model, and have not been able to find a Pearson's Chi Squared statistic in any of the output.  Am I missing it somewhere?  Is there a way to run the test using either chisq.test() or goodfit()...

Dear R users, Could somebody please help me to find a way of comparing nonlinear, non-nested models in R, where the number of parameters is not necessarily different? Here is a sample (growth rates, y, as a function of internal substrate concentration, x): x <- c(0.52, 1.21, 1.45, 1.64, 1.89, 2.14, 2.47, 3.20, 4.47, 5.31, 6.48) y <- c(0.00, 0.35, 0.41, 0.49, 0.58, 0.61, 0.71, 0.83, 0.98,

...l output without doing it manually. I guess I could write a function myself somehow but it's always nice to have an inbuilt function with which to compare what one does. I know that there has been some discussion on this on the platform but I didn't find anything that helped me. I tried AICctab from the bbmle package but I couldn't figure out how to get my output from arima into the function. I tried with making a list of the logLik(mdoel) output and several other things but it never worked. Any help with this is most appreciated many thanks in advance cheers Beni

Hi I'm trying to replicate Smith et al.'s (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/330/6008/1216.abstract) findings by fitting their Gompertz and logistic models to their data (given in their supplement). I'm doing this as I want to then apply the equations to my own data. Try as a might, I can't quite replicate them. Any thoughts why are much appreciated. I've tried contacting the
