      The t-test uses the t-distribution (a sampling distribution of t) as a method of model comparison when you are evaluating a complex model against the empty model. It is very similar to using the F-distribution for model comparison, and, actually, ...

      The F-Distribution is a probability distribution that models the sampling distribution of F under the empty model (the null hypothesis that there is no effect of the explanatory variable); this theoretical distribution takes into account both model ...
    • f() or fVal()

      The f() function (and, similarly, the fVal() function) will calculate the F value for a model. Example 1: Below are various methods for indexing the model in the argument of the f() function (they will all produce the same output). For any of these, ...
    • tally()

      The tally() function will count, or tally, the number of cases that are observed in each category of a variable. Example 1: Use tally() to count the number of observations in each category of a categorical variable. # Use tally() to count the number ...
