Tests, predictions, and effects

Hypothesis testing

  • Wald test for linear constraints
  • Wald test (delta method) for nonlinear constraints
  • Likelihood-ratio test after any ML estimation
  • Bonferroni, Holm, and Šidák adjustments for multiple comparisons

Generalized testing

  • Ability to combine separate estimates into one combined estimate
  • Robust covariance matrix of combined estimates
  • Tests of linear and nonlinear combinations of estimates across fitted models
  • Point estimates and confidence intervals of linear and nonlinear combinations of estimates across fitted models

Predictions

  • Ability to obtain predicted values after all estimation commands
  • Predictor types that are tightly coupled to the estimation command
  • Default predicted value that is most relevant to the fitted model

Generalized predictions

  • Linear and nonlinear combinations of
    • Standard predictions
    • Equation index values
    • Estimated coefficients
    • Data
  • Inferential statistics for generalized predictions:
    • Point estimates
    • Standard errors
    • Variances
    • Wald test statistics
    • Significance levels
    • Pointwise confidence intervals

Postestimation statistics

  • Estimation sample summary statistics
  • Akaike and Bayesian information criteria
  • Covariance matrix analysis

Marginal analysis

Hausman test

  • Test the independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) after
    • Multinomial logit
    • Conditional logistic regression
  • Test exogeneity or overidentifying restrictions for
    • Two-stage least squares (2SLS)
    • Three-stage least squares (3SLS)

Specification link test for single-equation models

Linear and nonlinear combinations of coefficients

  • Point estimates
  • Standard errors
  • Confidence intervals
  • Tests of significance
  • Covariances of transformations
  • Support for survey and clustered data

Save and restore estimation results

  • Save estimation results to disk
  • Compare models
  • Restore and perform predictions
  • Restore and perform tests

See contrasts and pairwise comparisons.
