get the wald chi square in binary logistic regression

severine.erhel at free.fr a ??crit :

hello,

I work since a few time on R and i wanted to know how to obtain the Wald

chi

square value when you make a binary logistic regression. In fact, i have

the z

value and the signification but is there a script to see what is the value

of

Wald chi square. You can see my model below,
Best regards,

S??verine Erhel

If you want a global test for several coeff associated with the same
variable (e.g., form or criter2 in your example), you can fit the model
without the variable and compare the 2 models with a likelihood ratio
test (function anova): it is safer than the Wald test.

If you really want the Wald test, it is available in different packages:
see for example the function wald.test in package aod.

Best,

Renaud
