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

| Exponential | 0.16 | -3.32e-05 | 2 | 3.84 1
 | 5.99 0.923

| Beta Poisson | 0.16 | 1 | 3.84 0.689
 |  
| Exponential is preferred to beta-Poisson; cannot reject good fit for exponential. |  |
