Likelihood Ratio Chi-Square Test for One Predictor (TEST=LRCHI)
The power computing formula is based on Shieh and O’Brien (1998), Shieh (2000), and Self, Mauritsen, and Ohara (1992).
Define the following notation for a logistic regression analysis:
The logistic regression model is
The hypothesis test of the first predictor variable is
Assuming independence among all predictor variables,
is defined as follows:
where
is calculated according to the following algorithm:
This algorithm causes the elements of the transposed vector
to vary fastest to slowest from right to left as
increases, as shown in the following table of
values:
The
values are determined in a completely analogous manner.
The discretization is handled as follows (unless the distribution is ordinal, or binomial with sample size parameter at least as large as requested number of bins): for
, generate
quantiles at evenly spaced probability values such that each such quantile is at the midpoint of a bin with probability
. In other words,
The primary noncentrality for the power computation is
where
where
The power is
Alternative input parameterizations are handled by the following transformations:
