[R-sig-ME] Comparing two models with different sample sizes

[Thierry Onkelinx]

No. The likelihood of a model is given the data. Only compare models based
on the same data. Therefore make sure there are no missing values in the
covariates when comparing models. When na.action = na.omit the model will
silently ignore observations with missing values a covariate.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
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.
