模型比较
> #用anova()函数可以比较两个嵌套模型的拟合优度，所谓嵌套模型，即它的一些项完全包含在另一个模型中。咋states的多元回归模型中，我们发现Income和Frost的回归系数不显著。此时我们可以检验不含这两个变量的模型与包含这两项的模型预测效果是否是一样的。

#第一行中，可以看到intercept（截距项）和income的模型调整为R平方为0.033，含intercept和population的模型调整r平方为0.1.跳至第12行，你会看到含intercept、population、illiteracy和income的模型调整r方为0.54，而仅含intercept、population和illiteracy的模型调整r平方为0.55.，此处就是含预测变量越少的模型调整r方就越大。图像表明：双预测变量（population和illiteracy）是最佳的。
