Thanks Bert, I realise that and am not distilling it down to the p value. I am primarily considering the issue of collapsing down in the larger context of the added value/information that the extra categories give. However, I am curious to see (as I said from a statistical standpoint) whether

Hi, I am trying to replicate a test in the Hosmer - Applied Logistic regression text (pp 289, 3rd ed) that uses a Multivariable Wald test to test the equality of coefficients across the 2 logits of a 3 category response multinomial model. I’d like to see whether (from a  statistical
