Tests, predictions, and effects

Hypothesis testing

  • Wald test for linear constraints
  • Wald test (delta method) for nonlinear constraints
  • Likelihood-ratio test after any ML estimation
  • Bonferroni, Holm, and Šidák adjustments for multiple comparisons
Generalized testing

  • Point estimates and confidence intervals of linear and nonlinear combinations of estimates across fitted models

Predictions
