The HPMIXED Procedure
TEST Statement
TEST fixed-effects </ options>;
The TEST statement performs a hypothesis test on the fixed effects. You can specify multiple effects in one TEST statement or in multiple TEST statements, and all TEST statements must appear after the MODEL statement.
You can specify the following options after a slash (/):
- CHISQ
performs
tests in addition to any F tests. A statistic equals its corresponding F statistic times the associated numerator degrees of freedom, and PROC HPMIXED uses the same degrees of freedom to compute the p-value for the test. This p-value is always less than that for the F test, because a test effectively corresponds to an F test that has infinite denominator degrees of freedom. - DF=number
specifies the denominator degrees of freedom for the F test. The default is the residual degrees of freedom that you define by specifying the DDFM=RESIDUAL option.
- E
displays matrix coefficients that are associated with test types for specified effects.
-
E3
EIII displays Type III matrix coefficients if a Type III test is performed.
- HTYPE=value-list
indicates the type of hypothesis test to perform on the specified effects. The only valid value for entries in the value-list is 3, corresponding to a Type III test. The default value is 3. The ODS table name is Tests3 for the Type III test.
