Statistical Analysis: Testing and Restrictions

Restricted estimation

  • Equality and fixed value restrictions in all models
  • Linearly constrained maximum likelihood
  • Inequality constrained least squares

Hypothesis tests

  • Wald test for linear restrictions
  • LM tests for any model using restricted starting values
  • LR tests for all models
  • Hausman test
    • Conditional logit
    • Linear panel data model
    • 2SLS
    • IIA test for conditional logit
  • LM tests
    • Tobit specification
    • Linear panel data models
    • All models fit by ML – LM statistic based on starting values
  • Cox tests
  • PE and J tests
  • Vuong test for nonnested models
