[R] Help re zinb model

[blomsp at ozemail.com.au]

Remember that -2 * the difference in the likelihoods between the two models is
asymptotically chi-squared distributed, with degrees of freedom equal to the
difference in number of parameters between the models. So you can just
calculate that for your preferred and null models, then use the pchisq function
to test significance. Get the likelihoods from obj$maxlike.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for
an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer
can be extracted from a given body of data.
