CLME (version 2.0-12)

lrt.stat: Likelihood ratio type statistic (global)

Description

Calculates the likeihood ratio type test statistic (under Normality assumption) for a constrained linear mixed effects model. This is the default test statistic for CLME.

Usage

lrt.stat(theta, theta.null, cov.theta, ...)

Arguments

theta

estimated coefficients.

theta.null

coefficients estimated under the null hypothesis.

cov.theta

covariance matrix of the (unconstrained) coefficients.

...

additional arguments, to enable custom test statistic functions.

Value

Output is a numeric value.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data( rat.blood )
cons <- list(order = "simple", decreasing = FALSE, node = 1 )

clme.out <- clme(mcv ~ time + temp + sex + (1|id), data = rat.blood , 
                 constraints = cons, seed = 42, nsim = 0)

# Individually compute lrt statistic
lrt.stat(clme.out$theta, clme.out$theta.null, clme.out$cov.theta )
