Re: [R] Inconsistency in F values from dropterm and anova

Perhaps if you followed the posting guide and did not send HTML mail your tables would be readable. But your anova call seems wrong, as you have the models in decreasing not increasing order. The correct result is (computing F test by hand) 23.1814/93 [1] 0.2492624 1.5475/3 [1] 0.5158333

[R] Inconsistency in F values from dropterm and anova

Hi, I'm working on fitting a glm model to my data using Gamma error structure and reciprocal link. I've been using dropterm (MASS) in the model simplification process, but the F values from analysis of deviance tables reported by dropterm and anova functions are different - sometimes significant
