Title

    pvtest -- Test linear hypotheses after estimation with plausible values

Syntax

        pvtest (spec) [(spec) ...]

Description

    pvtest estimates Wald and t tests for linear hypotheses. It differs from 
    test only in how it calculates the t parameter, which is usually the
    degrees of freedom, for the t test. See pv for formulas, references, and
    more information.

Examples

    Estimating statistics with PISA

        . pv stratio propqual [aw=w_fstuwt], pv(pv*math) cmd("reg") brr
            rw(w_fstr*) fays(0.5)

        . pvtest stratio=propqual

        . pvtest stratio propqual

        . pv stratio [aw=w_fstuwt], pv(pv*math) bs bsops("reps(80)
            str(stratum) cl(schoolid)")

        . pvtest 3*stratio=9

        . pv stratio [aw=w_fstuwt], pv(pv*math)

        . pvtest stratio=2

Estimating statistics with PIRLS

        . pv asbgsex [aw=tchwgt], pv(asrrea*) jkzone(jkzone) jkrep(jkrep) jrr
            timss

        . pvtest 3*asbgsex=9
