HGLM Likelihood Test for Random Terms

This dialog allows you to assess the significance of the random terms in a generalized linear mixed model using a likelihood test done by the HGRTEST procedure.

Random term

The drop-down list specifies which random term in the model to test. If All random terms is selected, then all random terms in the model will be tested.

Display

This controls what output is printed from the analysis:

Tests

test statistics for the selected random terms

Maximum number of iterations

This gives maximum number of iterations of the hierarchical generalized linear algorithm. If the model in the likelhood test does not converge, try increasing this number.

Save

This lets you save results from the from the HGRTEST analysis in Genstat data structures. After selecting the appropriate boxes, you need to type the names for the identifiers of the data structures into the corresponding In: fields.

Test statistic	Scalar or Pointer	Test statistic for each selected random term
Degrees of freedom	Scalar or Pointer	Degrees of freedom for each selected random term

If there is a single random term being tested, the saved structures will be scalars, otherwise they will be pointers.

Display in spreadsheet

The saved results will be displayed in a new spreadsheet.
