+\title{Lack-of-fit test for models fitted to data with replicates}
+\usage{
+loftest(object, ...)
+
+\method{loftest}{mkinfit}(object, ...)
+}
+\arguments{
+\item{object}{A model object with a defined loftest method}
+
+\item{\dots}{Not used}
+}
+\description{
+This is a generic function with a method currently only defined for mkinfit
+objects. It fits an anova model to the data contained in the object and
+compares the likelihoods using the likelihood ratio test
+\code{\link[lmtest]{lrtest.default}} from the lmtest package.
+}
+\details{
+The anova model is interpreted as the simplest form of an mkinfit model,
+assuming only a constant variance about the means, but not enforcing any
+structure of the means, so we have one model parameter for every mean
+of replicate samples.
