lrtest: Likelihood Ratio Test for Nested GKw Models

In gkwreg: Generalized Kumaraswamy Regression Models for Bounded Data

Likelihood Ratio Test for Nested GKw Models

Description

Performs a likelihood ratio test to compare two nested Generalized Kumaraswamy regression models.

Usage

lrtest(object, object2)

Arguments

object	A fitted model object of class "gkwreg" (the restricted model).
object2	A fitted model object of class "gkwreg" (the full model).

Details

This function performs a likelihood ratio test (LRT) to compare two nested models. The test statistic is:

LRT = 2(\ell_{\text{full}} - \ell_{\text{restricted}})

which follows a chi-squared distribution with degrees of freedom equal to the difference in the number of parameters.

The models must be nested (one is a special case of the other) and fitted to the same data for the test to be valid.

Value

A list with class "htest" containing:

statistic

The LRT test statistic

parameter

Degrees of freedom for the test

p.value

P-value from the chi-squared distribution

method

Description of the test

data.name

Names of the compared models

# Likelihood ratio test
