Hi there,

According to stata/help, the command --test-- perform a Wald test, but
outputs the F-statistic rather than the (related) Wald-statistic. Is there
a way to fix that? (and if not, why?)

I have also noticed a difference between the output of --test-- following a
call to --reg-- and a call to --logit--. A call to --logit-- outputs a chi2
(the Wald-statistic) while a call to --reg-- outputs an F.

Is there a simple way to output chi2 after a call to --reg-- and --test-- ?

I have searched statalist and the faq. In particular,
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/wald.html suggests that the
calculation from chi2 to F or from F to chi2 should be done "manually". Is
there no way to routinely control the output of --test--?

many thanks


Patrick.
