Compute conditional hypotheses tests for fitted mcglm model class. When fitting models with extra power parameters, the standard errors associated with the dispersion parameters can be large. In that cases, we suggest to conduct conditional hypotheses test instead of the orthodox marginal test for the dispersion parameters. The function mc_conditional_test offers an ease way to conduct such conditional test. Furthermore, the function is quite flexible and can be used for any other conditional hypotheses test.

mc_conditional_test(object, parameters, test, fixed)

Arguments

object

an object representing a model of mcglm class.

parameters

which parameters will be included in the conditional test.

test

index indicating which parameters will be tested given the values of the other parameters.

fixed

index indicating which parameters should be fixed on the conditional test.
