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()?  I would appreciate any suggestions on how to test for goodness of fit in negative binomial models.
 
Thanks,
