There seem to be two problems.
The first is that your summary is empty. I don't know why that is;
you'd have to supply the nls() command and data.
The second is exactly what the error message says; there is no anova
method for a single nls object.
anova in R works two ways; on a single fit, in which case individual
term sums of squares are calculated, or on a sequence of fits, in which
case anova compares the SS for the different fits.
Using the example from the nls help:
x <- 1:10
y <- 2*x + 3 # perfect fit
yeps <- y + rnorm(length(y), sd = 0.01) # added noise
y.nls1<- nls(yeps ~ a + b*x, start = list(a = 0.12345, b =
0.54321),
trace = TRUE)
y.nls2<- nls(yeps ~ a + b*x+c*x^2, start = list(a = 0.12345, b =
0.54321, c=0.01),
trace = TRUE)
anova(y.nls1) #Returns your error message
anova(y.nls1, y.nls2) #Returns a test of one fit against the other
Hope that helps
