Hello Everyone,
At first, I was somewhat hesitant to post this question thinking that perhaps I have overlooked the obvious (which still may be the case). In the end, I have grown weary of searching so pose this question to you.
I was working on a manuscript a few months ago using hierarchical linear modeling to examine group differences in self-esteem over time. During the manuscript preparation, I was reviewing many articles and books using hierarchical linear modeling and noticed that results for individual random effect parameters/variance components were usually accompanied by a chi-square/z statistic and a specific probability value. However, in the STATA output, the random effect parameters are listed with an estimate, standard error and 95% confidence interval but no such chi-square/z statistic or specific probability value.
Is there a way for STATA to produce such a statistic/probability value (via conducting significance tests) for the individual random effect parameters? If so, how?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Respectfully, Anthony
