## ANOVA for Fitted Point Process Models on Linear Network

### Description

Performs analysis of deviance for two or more fitted point process models on a linear network.

### Usage

      ## S3 method for class 'lppm'
    anova(object, ..., test=NULL)

### Arguments

`object` | A fitted point process model on a linear network (object of class `"lppm"`).
`...` | One or more fitted point process models on the same linear network.
`test` | Character string, partially matching one of `"Chisq"`, `"F"` or `"Cp"`.

### Details

This is a method for `anova` for fitted point process models on a linear network (objects of class `"lppm"`, usually generated by the model-fitting function `lppm`).

If the fitted models are all Poisson point processes, then this function performs an Analysis of Deviance of the fitted models. The output shows the deviance differences (i.e. 2 times log likelihood ratio), the difference in degrees of freedom, and (if `test="Chi"`) the two-sided p-values for the chi-squared tests. Their interpretation is very similar to that in `anova.glm`.

If some of the fitted models are not Poisson point processes, then the deviance difference is replaced by the adjusted composite likelihood ratio (Pace et al, 2011; Baddeley et al, 2014).

### Value

An object of class `"anova"`, or `NULL`.

### Errors and warnings

models not nested:

  There may be an error message that the models are not “nested”. For an Analysis of Deviance the models must be nested, i.e. one model must be a special case of the other. For example the point process model with formula `~x` is a special case of the model with formula `~x+y`, so these models are nested. However the two point process models with formulae `~x` and `~y` are not nested.

  If you get this error message and you believe that the models should be nested, the problem may be the inability of R to recognise that the two formulae are nested. Try modifying the formulae to make their relationship more obvious.

different sizes of dataset:

  There may be an error message from `anova.glmlist` that “models were not all fitted to the same size of dataset”. This generally occurs when the point process models are fitted on different linear networks.
