Abstract:
|
In this article we consider the problems on the testing the hypotheses of regression parameters in the logistic model in case of small samples. The ML estimates sometimes are not obtained owing to the convergence problem. Our study shows that the larger values of the estimates of standard error for the coefficient estimators shall give warnings of non convergence for estimates. We also propose the new test statistic based on the Lagrange multiplier test, that is much better than the Wald test. Simulation results make clear the good property of the proposed test.
