Dear Santos, Since your models are nested you can apply a likelihood ratio test.
M0 <- glm(formula = Spend_bucket ~ Freq + Address_is_res + last_update_days_ago, data = qdataset, family = binomial) M1 <- glm(formula = Spend_bucket ~ Freq + Address_is_res, data = qdataset, family = binomial) anova(M0, M1, test = "Chisq") Note that using the data argument makes you code much more readable.

Here are 2 summaries of 2 model. HOw can we compare 2 models by what factor or coefficient and say which model is best Please help --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MODEL 1* glm(formula = qdataset$Spend_bucket ~ qdataset$Freq + qdataset$Address_is_res + qdataset$last_update_days_ago, family = binomial) Coefficients: Estimate Std.
