On the Comparison of Two Non-hierarchical Log-linear Models

  • Published : 1998.12.01

Abstract

Suppose we want to compare following non-hierarchical log-linear models, $H_0:f(x, heta inTheta_a)$ vs H_1:g(x, heta inTheta_eta); for; Theta_a,;Theta_etasubsetTheta;such;that;Theta_$\alpha$/ Theta_eta$. The goodness of fit test using the likelihood ratio test statistic for comparing these models could not be acceptable. By using the polyhedrons plots of Choi and Hong (1995), we propose a method to decide a better model between two non-hierarchical log-linear models $f(x: heta inTheta_a) and g(x: heta inTheta_eta)$.
