D2

Compare two nested models using D2-statistic

Description

The D2-statistic pools test statistics from the repeated analyses. The method is less powerful than the D1- and D3-statistics.

Usage

D2(fit1, fit0 = NULL, use = "wald")

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.
`use`	A character string denoting Wald- or likelihood-based based tests. Can be either `"wald"` or `"likelihood"`. Only used if `method = "D2"`.

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))
D2(mi1, mi0)


# 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))
D2(fit1, fit0)
