hypothmat: General Linear Tests of the regression coefficients

Description

Performs general linear tests of the regressio coefficients.

Usage

hypothmat(sfit, mmat, n, p)

Arguments

sfit

the result of a call to dbfit.

mmat

a full row rank q*(p+1) matrix, where q is the row number of the matrix and p is number of independent variables.

n

total number of observations.

p

number of independent variables.

Value

tst

the test statistic

pvf

the p-value of the F-test

Details

This functions performs the general linear F-test of the form H0: Mb = 0 vs HA: Mb != 0.
