Goodness of fit and model selection
| Model | Deviance | Δ | Degrees of freedom
 | χ20.95,1 p-value
 | χ20.95,m-k p-value

| Exponential | 3.12 | -9.43e-05 | 4 | 3.84 1
 | 9.49 0.539

| Beta Poisson | 3.12 | 3 | 7.81 0.374
 |  
| Exponential is preferred to beta-Poisson; cannot reject good fit for exponential. |  |
