Dear Martin, I'll address only part of your question, which is how to get the code for linear.hypothesis() in the car package: linear.hypothesis() is an S3 generic function with several methods:
> library(car) > methods("linear.hypothesis") [1] linear.hypothesis.default* linear.hypothesis.glm* [3] linear.hypothesis.lm* linear.hypothesis.mlm* Non-visible functions are asterisked So the function has methods for glm, lm, and mlm objects, along with a default method, which, as explained in ?linear.hypothesis, should work with models for which coef() and vcov() methods exist. To see linear.hypothesis.default(), which isn't exported from the car namespace, you can, e.g., type car:::linear.hypothesis.default I'm not sure why you get different results for the F-test but similar results for the Wald test. Which F-test seems to square with the Wald test (you don't show the Wald tests)? I hope this helps, John -------------------------------- John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4M4 905-525-9140x23604 http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox -------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Ivanov > Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 11:28 AM > To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [R] about systemfit > > Hello.
