Likelihood Ratio Tests for Fixed Model Terms using Residual Maximum Likelihood
使用残差极大似然检验模型固定项的似然比方法
Summary Likelihood ratio tests for fixed model terms are proposed for the analysis of linear mixed models when using residual maximum likelihood estimation. Bartlett-type adjustments, using an approximate decomposition of the data, are developed for the test statistics. A simulation study is used to compare properties of the test statistics proposed, with or without adjustment, with a Wald test. A proposed test statistic constructed by dropping fixed terms from the full…
