easy printing of fstat

[compleathorseplayer]

Hi All. What about the following for easy access to ftest()?

ftest(lmodel)=(1/(1-r2(lmodel))-1)*(length(predict(lmodel))-
    length(coef(lmodel)))/(length(coef(lmodel))-1)   

I have been giving this manually to my students, but it would be nice to have it available as a method (at the moment ftest() with one argument fails)

I tried to make this into a Pull request but have never done that and got bogged down with 'branch comparisons'. Could someone please submit this if you think it is a good idea?

Maybe the function should be called fstat() to be analogous to the r2() diagnostic (a value, as opposed to a table)

It also needs easy access to the p-value for the F-statistic.

function fstat(ols::LinearModel)
    k = length(coef(ols)) - 1
    n = nobs(ols)
    F = (1 / (1 - r2(ols)) - 1) * (n - k - 1) / k
    p = ccdf(FDist(k, n - k - 1), F)
    return F, p
end

I believe #424 addressed this.
