In previous lectures we have considered model comparison of nested
regression models, and nested ANOVA type models.
The comparison of nested general linear models using F tests
follows naturally.

Comparison on Nested Linear Models
For any linear model \(M0\) nested
within \(M1\), we can test:
using an F test.
The hypotheses can be stated in terms of parameters of model \(M1\).
The F test statistic is
\[F = \frac{[RSS_{M0} -
RSS_{M1}]/d}{RSS_{M1}/r}\] where d is the difference in
the number of (regression) parameters between the models, and r
is the residual degrees of freedom for \(M1\).
If \(H_0\) is correct then
F has an F distribution with \(d,r\) degrees of freedom.
Extreme large values of the test statistic provide evidence against
\(H_0\).
Hence if \(f_{obs}\) is the observed
value of the test statistic, and X is a random variable from an
\(F_{d,r}\) distribution, then the
P-value is given by \(P= P(X \ge
f_{obs})\)
This test can be carried out in R using
anova(m0.lm, m1.lm)
where m0.lm
and
m1.lm
are respectively the \(M0\) and \(M1\) fitted models.
The Samara Data revisited
Recall that we were modelling the mean speed of fall of samara (fruit
from a maple tree) as a function of the disk loading (a covariate) and
the tree from which it fell (a factor) for each fruit.
We fitted separate linear regressions for each of the three
trees.
We shall now consider simpler models:
- Parallel regressions for each tree (i.e. equal slope for
Load
for all trees);
- A single regression model for every fruit (i.e. equal slope and
intercept for each tree).
We shall compare these models with each other, and with the separate
regressions model.

Comparison of Models for Body Fat
In this section, we are concerned with modelling a small data set on
human body fat.
The response is percentage fat. Age is a numerical covariate, gender
is a factor.
Various model comparisons and model summaries are provided. Decide
which is the best model, and write down the fitted model equation for
males and females.

Task: Fitted model equation of chosen model
What is the preferred model’s equation?
Solution
Since we are talking about a one degree of freedom difference, the
p-value from anova(Fat.lm.1, Fat.lm.2) is the same as the p-value for
the interaction term in Fat.lm.2, namely 0.0679. So we don’t use the
interaction model.
Similarly the difference between the first two models is one df, so
the p-value from anova(Fat.lm.0, Fat.lm.1) would be the same as for the
coefficient of GenderM, namely 0.0182.
So we need to use the second model.
The equation is Fat = 15.0708 -9.7914 * GenderM + 0.3392 * Age
or Fat = 15.0708 + 0.3392 * Age for females and
Fat = 5.2794 + 0.3392* Age for males.

In previous lectures we have considered model comparison of nested    regression models, and nested ANOVA type models.

The comparison of nested general linear models using *F* tests follows
    naturally.

## Natural ordering of GLMs


![image](../graphics/glm_comp.png)

## Comparison on Nested Linear Models

For any linear model $M0$ nested within $M1$, we can test:

* $H_0$: $M0$ adequate vs

* $H_1$: $M0$ not adequate.


using an *F* test.

The hypotheses can be stated in terms of parameters of model $M1$.

The *F* test statistic is

$$F = \frac{[RSS_{M0} - RSS_{M1}]/d}{RSS_{M1}/r}$$ where *d* is
    the difference in the number of (regression) parameters between the
    models, and *r* is the residual degrees of freedom for $M1$.



If $H_0$ is correct then *F* has an *F* distribution with $d,r$
    degrees of freedom.

Extreme large values of the test statistic provide evidence against
    $H_0$.

Hence if $f_{obs}$ is the observed value of the test statistic,
    and *X* is a random variable from an $F_{d,r}$ distribution,
    then the *P*-value is given by $P= P(X \ge f_{obs})$

This test can be carried out in R using `anova(m0.lm, m1.lm)` where `m0.lm` and `m1.lm` are respectively the $M0$ and $M1$ fitted models.

## The Samara Data revisited

Recall that we were modelling the mean speed of fall of samara
    (fruit from a maple tree) as a function of the disk loading (a
    covariate) and the tree from which it fell (a factor) for each
    fruit.

We fitted separate linear regressions for each of the three trees.

We shall now consider simpler models:
    
- Parallel regressions for each tree (i.e. equal slope for `Load` for all        trees);
- A single regression model for every fruit (i.e. equal slope and intercept for each tree).
    
We shall compare these models with each other, and with the separate regressions model.


### Different Regressions Model

anova(Samara.lm.m0, Samara.lm.m1)
anova(Samara.lm.m0, Samara.lm.m2)
```

 

### Comments

Models fitted as follows:

- `Samara.lm.m2` is separate regressions model. It has 6        regression parameters (3 for intercepts, 3 for slopes) and RSS
        of *0.16549*.
- `Samara.lm.m1` is parallel regressions model. It has 4       regression parameters (3 for intercepts, 1 for slope) and RSS of     *0.20344*.
- `Samara.lm.m0` is single regressions model. It has 2 regression  parameters (1 for intercept, 1 for slope) and RSS of *0.21476*.

Comparison of $M2$ and $M1$ gives very borderline result
    (*P=0.05011*). We would just barely retain $M1$ if we were working at a 5%
    significance level.

Comparison of $M1$ and $M0$ provides no evidence to prefer
    $M1$ (*P=0.4319*).

Comparison of $M2$ and $M0$ shows that $M0$ should be retained
    at the 5% significance level (though there is weak evidence in
    favour of $M2$).

#### What happens if you put all three models in the same anova? 
```{r }
anova(Samara.lm.m0,  Samara.lm.m1, Samara.lm.m2)
```

We see that the p-value for comparing M0 and M1 is now *0.38306*  instead of *0.4319*. Why is there a change in the p-value? 

The reason is that the denominator for the F test is based on the biggest model to hand (M2), namely using *RSS=0.16549* on *29* df, whereas for the previous analysis the biggest model to hand was M1, using *RSS=0.20344* on *31* df. This is enough of a difference to change the p-value to *0.38306*. 

The lesson then is that if we are going to quote a p-value then we need to decide once and for all whether to use the `different slopes` model or not. 

#### Fitted model is

Overall, it seems that single regression is probably adequate.
