This fitted model says that, holding math and reading at a fixed value, the odds of getting into an honors class for females female 1over the odds of getting into an honors class for males female 0 is exp. The large variation in the value of the loglikelihood function means that the value of the restricted model in one quadrant may be higher than the value of the unrestricted model in another quadrant, but never within quadrants. When the simulated likelihood function for the simulated data is calculated using antithetic halton draws, the difference between the log likelihood values from different quadrants is always zero as desired, and the likelihood ratio test of the null hypothesis therefore no longer varies. I want to perform the standard likelihood ratio test in logsitic regression using sas. This can be more timeconsuming but is also more accurate. The linearbylinear test is for ordinal ordered categories and assumes equal and ordered intervals. The degrees of freedom can be viewed as the number of cells that need to be set, until all others.
