Here is a tutorial on how to use generalized linear models in spss software. Loglinear models the analysis of multiway contingency tables is based on loglinear models.
The above example involves a logistic regression model, however, these tests are very general, and can be applied to any model with a likelihood function. Most software report a ttest after each coefficient, and that ttest is equivalent to an ftest. Obtaining likelihoodratio tests for differential item functioning dif. How to run a chisquare test and interpret the output in spss v20 when the assumptions have been violated. The large variation in the value of the loglikelihood function means that the value of the restricted model in one quadrant may be higher than the value of the unrestricted model in another quadrant, but never within quadrants. Chisquare goodnessoffit test in spss statistics procedure. Instead of likelihoodratio tests the lrtest command, wald tests the test command should be used. As far as i know, glmms in spss are fitted using the penalized quasi likelihood method, which is known to be suboptimal and produce biased results, especially for binary data or count data with low expected counts. An illustration of maximum likelihood ml estimation. The likelihood ratio test lrt compares the likelihoods of two models where parameter estimates are obtained in two parameter spaces, the space and the restricted subspace. In multiple regression under normality, the deviance is the residual sum of squares. Rabehesketh and skrondal 2012, 8889 argue that this test statistic is conservative when testing variance components, since they have a lower boundary of zero. In order to develop this theory, consider the simpler situation of a twoway tables as produced by a crosstabulation of sex by life gss91 data.
To see how the likelihood ratio test and wald test are implemented in stata refer. How can i interpret the likelihood ratio for a chisquare. A better alternative is to use the adaptive gaussian quadrature that is available in other software. I tried the anova method and the test produced results, unlike when i tried using lrtest. To test whether the addition of a covariate or covariates is statistically warranted we can compare the loglikelihood from the smaller model to that from the larger model. In fact, the latter two can be conceptualized as approximations to the likelihoodratio test, and are asymptotically equivalent. This value of 2 log l is useful to compare two nested models which differ by an arbitrary. And reductions in 2ll are considered better models as long as they exceed the critical values shown in the table below.
So based on that, the null model has a higher value very poor in predicting the decisions as compared with this model summary.

Twice this difference follows a chisquare distribution with degrees of freedom equal to the difference in parameters estimated. Thus the standard likelihoodratio test should not be used after estimating pweighted or clustered mles. In our example, the intercept only model or the null model says that students smoking is unrelated to parents smoking habits. The null hypothesis of the test states that the smaller model provides as good a fit for the data as the larger model.
