[R-sig-ME] Warning message in glmmADMB

[Ulf Köther]

Dear Moshi,

just rearrange the tested models (as it is stated in the warning), e.g.:

anova(m2,m1)

and the warning should go away. It's only that the warning informs you
about the changed order of the models listed by the anova-result with
the smaller model (less df) being listed first. It does not say anything
about an inappropriate test...

Kind regards, Ulf
