Re: st: St: interpret the result of Hausman test

[Muhammad Anees <anees@aneconomist.com>]

Hi,

You can now easily select the model depending on the difference
between the estimated coefficient of (b) and (B) in the output, you
skipped. The p-value is self explanatory and suggest you can
accept/reject (check which one to go for) the null hypothesis of
Hausaman's test.

Hope this is good now,
Anees
