Hi, all
 
I am thinking about using two models to fit the observations, one
is polynomial model
fit1: catch~long+lat+long^2+lat^2+long*lat
the other is exponential model
fit2: catch~alpha*exp((long-lat)^2)+beta
But I do not know how to prove the hypothesis that fit2 is better than
fit1.
Can I use the function anova(fit2, fit1)?
 
Thanks a lot!
 
yours,
rui
