D1: Compare two nested models using D1-statistic

Description

The D1-statistics is the multivariate Wald test.

Usage

D1(fit1, fit0 = NULL, dfcom = NULL, df.com = NULL)

Arguments

fit1

An object of class mira, produced by with().

fit0

An object of class mira, produced by with(). The model in fit0 is a nested within fit1. The default null model fit0 = NULL compares fit1 to the intercept-only model.

dfcom

A single number denoting the complete-data degrees of freedom of model fit1. If not specified, it is set equal to df.residual of model fit1. If that cannot be done, the procedure assumes (perhaps incorrectly) a large sample.

df.com

Examples

# Compare two linear models:
imp <- mice(nhanes2, seed = 51009, print = FALSE)
mi1 <- with(data = imp, expr = lm(bmi ~ age + hyp + chl))
mi0 <- with(data = imp, expr = lm(bmi ~ age + hyp))
D1(mi1, mi0)
if (FALSE) {
# Compare two logistic regression models
imp <- mice(boys, maxit = 2, print = FALSE)
fit1 <- with(imp, glm(gen > levels(gen)[1] ~ hgt + hc + reg, family = binomial))
fit0 <- with(imp, glm(gen > levels(gen)[1] ~ hgt + hc, family = binomial))
D1(fit1, fit0)
