The p-values are non-significant by any standard cutoff (e.g. p<=0.05, p<=0.1) but note that this is a *lack-of-fit* test -- i.e., "does my function fit the data well enough?", **not** a "significant pattern" test (e.g., "does my function fit the data better than a reasonable null model?"). In other words, this test tells you that you *can't* reject the null hypothesis that the model is "good enough" in some sense.

  To test against a constant null model, you could do

nullmod <- nlsr(y ~ const,
                data = mod14data2_random,
                start = list(const = 0.45))
anova(nlregmod3, nullmod)


(This question seems to be verging on "general question about statistics" rather than "question about R", so maybe better for a venue like https://stats.stackexchange.com ??)

I am using LOF.test() function from the qpcR package and got the following
result:

LOF.test(nlregmod3)
$pF
[1] 0.97686

$pLR
[1] 0.77025

Can I conclude from the LOF.test() results that my nonlinear regression
model is significant/statistically significant?

Where my nonlinear model was fitted as follows:
nlregmod3 <- nlsr(formula=y ~ theta1 - theta2*exp(-theta3*x), data =
mod14data2_random,
       start = list(theta1 = 0.37,
                    theta2 = -exp(-1.8),
                    theta3 = 0.05538))
And the data used to fit this model is the following:
dput(mod14data2_random)
structure(list(index = c(14L, 27L, 37L, 33L, 34L, 16L, 7L, 1L,
39L, 36L, 40L, 19L, 28L, 38L, 32L), y = c(0.44, 0.4, 0.4, 0.4,
0.4, 0.43, 0.46, 0.49, 0.41, 0.41, 0.38, 0.42, 0.41, 0.4, 0.4
), x = c(16, 24, 32, 30, 30, 16, 12, 8, 36, 32, 36, 20, 26, 34,
28)), row.names = c(NA, -15L), class = "data.frame")

Cheers,
Paul
