Performs two statistical test on observed and fitted marginal frequencies. For G test the test statistic is computed as: G = 2_kO_k(O_kE_k) and for ^2 the test statistic is computed as: ^2 = _k(O_k-E_k)^2E_k where O_k,E_k denoted observed and fitted frequencies respectively. Both of these statistics converge to ^2 distribution asymptotically with the same degrees of freedom.

The convergence of G, ^2 statistics to ^2 distribution may be violated if expected counts in cells are too low, say < 5, so it is customary to either censor or omit these cells.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'singleRmargin'
summary(object, df, dropl5 = c("drop", "group", "no"), ...)

Arguments

object

object of singleRmargin class.

df

degrees of freedom if not provided the function will try and manually but it is not always possible.

dropl5

a character indicating treatment of cells with frequencies < 5 either grouping them, dropping or leaving them as is. Defaults to drop.

...

currently does nothing.

Value

A chi squared test and G test for comparison between fitted and observed marginal frequencies.

Examples

# Create a simple model
Model <- estimatePopsize(
  formula = capture ~ ., 
  data = netherlandsimmigrant, 
  model = ztpoisson, 
  method = "IRLS"
)
plot(Model, "rootogram")

# We see a considerable lack of fit
summary(marginalFreq(Model), df = 1, dropl5 = "group")
