Chi-Square difference test


Chi-Square ddl p
Model 0 36.6 33 30.52%
Model 1 43.14 35 16.24%
Chi-Square 6.54 2 3.80%

You just need to fill in B4, C4, B5, & C5 (ie, the cells on a white background)
Model 1 should be more constrained than model 0

If Model 0 is better, the fit of Model 1 is significantly lowered by the additional constraints
If no model is better (test > 5% or 10%), you should usually use model 1
