these models are not nested and thus LRT should not be used. You get no p-value because Df=0 in your case. As an alternative you could look at the deviances.

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

p.s., you referred to `non-linearity of the data' if you mean that the probability of positive responses is a nonlinear function of your explanatory variables then you could use splines to model it (see e.g., at function `lrm()' from the Design package).

Subject: [R] ERROR NaNs produced;when comparing two logistic regression models with the ANOVACHI test



Dear R-list,

*When comparing two logistic regression models with the anova CHi test, I
obtain the following error: (there are no NA's in the time series). How can
this be solved such that I can compare two models on the same dataset were
different explanatory variables are used?



l.KBDI <- glm(zna.arson2 ~ zna.KBDI,family = binomial) l.NDWI <- glm(zna.arson2 ~ zna.NDWI,family = binomial)

anova(l.KBDI,l.NDWI, test = "Chi")


Analysis of Deviance Table

Model 1: zna.arson2 ~ zna.KBDI
Model 2: zna.arson2 ~ zna.NDWI
 Resid. Df Resid. Dev  Df Deviance P(>|Chi|)
1       110    123.227
2       110    113.593   0    9.635
Warning message:
NaNs produced in: pchisq(q, df, lower.tail, log.p)


*Is this caused by the non-linearity of the data? *How can I obtain a p-value?


Thanks, Jan
