#' Compute analysis of variance and likelihood ratio tests of fitted model objects
#'
#' @description Compute analysis of variance tables for a fitted model object or
#'   a likelihood ratio test for two fitted model objects.
#'
#' @param object A fitted model object from [splm()], [spautor()], [spglm()], or [spgautor()].
#' @param ... An additional fitted model object.
#' @param test A logical value indicating whether p-values from asymptotic Chi-squared
#'   hypothesis tests should be returned. Defaults to \code{TRUE}.
#' @param Terms An optional character or integer vector that specifies terms in the model
#'   used to jointly compute test statistics and p-values (if \code{test = TRUE})
#'   against a null hypothesis of zero. \code{Terms} is only used when a single fitted model
#'   object is passed to the function. If \code{Terms} is a character vector, it
#'   should contain the names of the fixed effect terms. If \code{Terms} is an integer
#'   vector, it should correspond to the order (starting at one) of the names
#'   of the fixed effect terms. The easiest way to obtain the names of
#'   all possible terms is to run \code{tidy(anova(object))$effects} (the
#'   integer representation matches the positions of this vector).
#' @param L An optional numeric matrix or list specifying linear combinations
#'   of the coefficients in the model used to compute test statistics
#'   and p-values (if \code{test = TRUE}) for coefficient constraints corresponding to a null
#'   hypothesis of zero. \code{L} is only used when a single fitted model
#'   object is passed to the function. If \code{L} is a numeric matrix, its rows
#'   indicate coefficient constraints and its columns
#'   represent coefficients. Then a single hypothesis test is conducted
#'   against a null hypothesis of zero.
#'   If \code{L} is a list, each list element is a numeric matrix specified as above.
#'   Then separate hypothesis tests are conducted. The easiest
#'   way to obtain all possible coefficients is to run \code{tidy(object)$term}.
#' @param ddf The denominator degrees of freedom used. \code{"asymptotic"}
#'   implements an asymptotic chi-squared test. 
#'   \code{"satterthwaite"} impelments a Satterthwaite/Fai-Cornelius
#'   F-test. The default is \code{"satterthwaite"} when the sample size is 
#'   less than or equal to 500 and \code{"asymptotic"} otherwise.
#'
#' @details When one fitted model object is present, \code{anova()}
#'   performs a general linear hypothesis test corresponding to some hypothesis
#'   specified by a matrix of constraints. If \code{Terms} and \code{L} are not specified,
#'   each model term is tested against zero (which correspond to type III or marginal
#'   hypothesis tests from classical ANOVA). If \code{Terms} is specified and \code{L}
#'   is not specified, all terms are tested jointly against zero. When \code{L} is
#'   specified, the linear combinations of terms specified by \code{L} are jointly
#'   tested against zero.
#'
#'   When two fitted model objects are present, one must be a "reduced"
#'   model nested in a "full" model. Then \code{anova()} performs a likelihood ratio test.
#'
#' @return When \code{ddf} is \code{"asymptotic"}, \code{anova()}
#'   returns a data frame with degrees of
#'   freedom (\code{Df}), test statistics (\code{Chi2}), and p-values
#'   (\code{Pr(>Chi2)} if \code{test = TRUE}) corresponding
#'   to asymptotic Chi-squared hypothesis tests for each model term. When
#'   \code{ddf} is \code{"satterthwaite"}, \code{anova()} instead
#'   numerator degrees of freedom (\code{NumDF}), denominator
#'   degrees of freedom (\code{DenDF}), \eqn{F} statistics (\code{F value}),
#'   and p-values (\code{Pr(>F)} if \code{test = TRUE}) for each model term.
#'
#'   When two fitted model objects are present, \code{anova()} returns a data frame
#'   with the difference in degrees of freedom between the full and reduced model (\code{Df}), a test
#'   statistic (\code{Chi2}), and a p-value corresponding to the likelihood ratio test
#'   (\code{Pr(>Chi2)} if \code{test = TRUE}).
#'
#'   Whether one or two fitted model objects are provided,
#'   \code{tidy()} can be used
#'   to obtain tidy tibbles of the \code{anova(object)} output.
