_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Compute all the single terms in the 'scope' argument that can be
     added to or dropped from the model, fit those models and compute a
     table of the changes in fit.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     add1(object, scope, ...)

     ## Default S3 method:
     add1(object, scope, scale = 0, test = c("none", "Chisq"),
          k = 2, trace = FALSE, ...)

     ## S3 method for class 'lm':
     add1(object, scope, scale = 0, test = c("none", "Chisq", "F"),
          x = NULL, k = 2, ...)

     ## S3 method for class 'glm':
     add1(object, scope, scale = 0, test = c("none", "Chisq", "F"),
          x = NULL, k = 2, ...)

     drop1(object, scope, ...)

     ## Default S3 method:
     drop1(object, scope, scale = 0, test = c("none", "Chisq"),
           k = 2, trace = FALSE, ...)

     ## S3 method for class 'lm':
     drop1(object, scope, scale = 0, all.cols = TRUE,
           test=c("none", "Chisq", "F"),k = 2, ...)

     ## S3 method for class 'glm':
     drop1(object, scope, scale = 0, test = c("none", "Chisq", "F"),
           k = 2, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: a fitted model object.

   scope: a formula giving the terms to be considered for adding or
          dropping.

   scale: an estimate of the residual mean square to be used in
          computing Cp. Ignored if '0' or 'NULL'.

    test: should the results include a test statistic relative to the
          original model?  The F test is only appropriate for 'lm' and
          'aov' models or perhaps for 'glm' fits with estimated
          dispersion. The Chisq test can be an exact test ('lm' models
          with known scale) or a likelihood-ratio test or a test of the
          reduction in scaled deviance depending on the method.

       k: the penalty constant in AIC / Cp.

   trace: if 'TRUE', print out progress reports.

       x: a model matrix containing columns for the fitted model and
          all terms in the upper scope.  Useful if 'add1' is to be
          called repeatedly.

all.cols: (Provided for compatibility with S.) Logical to specify
          whether all columns of the design matrix should be used. If
          'FALSE' then non-estimable columns are dropped, but the
          result is not usually statistically meaningful.

     ...: further arguments passed to or from other methods.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     For 'drop1' methods, a missing 'scope' is taken to be all terms in
     the model. The hierarchy is respected when considering terms to be
     added or dropped: all main effects contained in a second-order
     interaction must remain, and so on.

     The methods for 'lm' and 'glm' are more efficient in that they do
     not recompute the model matrix and call the 'fit' methods
     directly.

     The default output table gives AIC, defined as minus twice log
     likelihood plus 2p where p is the rank of the model (the number of
     effective parameters).  This is only defined up to an additive
     constant (like log-likelihoods).  For linear Gaussian models with
     fixed scale, the constant is chosen to give Mallows' Cp, RSS/scale
     + 2p - n.  Where Cp is used, the column is labelled as 'Cp' rather
     than 'AIC'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An object of class '"anova"' summarizing the differences in fit
     between the models.

_W_a_r_n_i_n_g:

     The model fitting must apply the models to the same dataset. Most
     methods will attempt to use a subset of the data with no missing
     values for any of the variables if 'na.action=na.omit', but this
     may give biased results.  Only use these functions with data
     containing missing values with great care.

_N_o_t_e:

     These are not fully equivalent to the functions in S.  There is no
     'keep' argument, and the methods used are not quite so
     computationally efficient.

     Their authors' definitions of Mallows' Cp and Akaike's AIC are
     used, not those of the authors of the models chapter of S.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     The design was inspired by the S functions of the same names
     described in Chambers (1992).

_R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e_s:

     Chambers, J. M. (1992) _Linear models._ Chapter 4 of _Statistical
     Models in S_ eds J. M. Chambers and T. J. Hastie, Wadsworth &
     Brooks/Cole.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'step', 'aov', 'lm', 'extractAIC', 'anova'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     example(step)#-> swiss
     add1(lm1, ~ I(Education^2) + .^2)
     drop1(lm1, test="F")  # So called 'type II' anova

     example(glm)
     drop1(glm.D93, test="Chisq")
     drop1(glm.D93, test="F")
