Subject   SV: st: how have stata perform and report a likelihood-ratio test after running biprobit

Thanks for your quick relpy. But however, when I run the exactly same model (BIPROBIT), using the exactly same data on another computer, it does give me likelihood ratio test. And I read somewhere that likelihood ratio test is better since Wald test requires large sample size but I only have around 300. 

And Wald test gives that rho is not significantly different from zero, and likelihood ratio test gives that rho is significant different from zero. I thought I should trust the likelihood ratio test.

Best,

Xing Liu

You should not do so, as it typically means that the likelihood ratio test is not appropriate in that situation, see:

Hope this helps,
