## Significance testing for the coefficients of Quasi binomial or the quasi Poisson regression

### Description

Significance testing for the coefficients of Quasi binomial or the quasi Poisson regression.

### Usage

    anova_propreg(mod, poia = NULL)
    anova_qpois.reg(mod, poia = NULL)

### Arguments

`mod` | An object as returned by the "prop.reg" or the "qpois.reg" function.
`poia` | If you want to test the significance of a single coefficient this must be a number. In this case, the "prop.reg" or the "qpois.reg" function contains this information. If you want more coefficients to be testes simultaneously, e.g. for a categorical predictor, then this must contain the positions of the coefficients. If you want to see if all coefficients are zero, like an overall F-test, leave this NULL.

### Details

Even though the name of this function starts with anova it is not an ANOVA type significance testing, but a Wald type.

### Value

A vector with three elements, the test statistic value, its associated p-value and the relevant degrees of freedom.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    y <- rbeta(1000, 1, 4)
    x <- matrix(rnorm(1000 * 3), ncol = 3)
    a <- prop.reg(y, x)
    ## all coefficients are tested
    res<-anova_propreg(a)
    ## the first predictor variable is tested
    res<-anova_propreg(a, 2)
    a  ## this information is already included in the model output
    ## the first and the second predictor variables are tested
    res<-anova_propreg(a, 2:3)

    ## End(Not run)
