Re: st: comparing nested models after multiple imputation

The problem is that there is no likelihood ratio test after multiple
imputation. All I have to go on is an F statistic for each
model.....could I just compare with a chi-square test, maybe? Not
sure what the df would be......but I've read that the F statistic is
supposed to be comparable to the Wald chi-square test.....so maybe it
would just be 1 df?
New Question: I'm also trying to figure out how to calculate my own
beta's for multilevel linear regressions....this option is also not
available in Stata from what I've read so far. I know that betas are
supposed to be the coefficient X (standard error of the independent
variable/ standard error of the dependent variable). But where I do I
find the S.E. of the dependent (this might be a really silly
question). I can obviously get the standard deviation of the variable
overall, but is that the same as the S.E. in the regression?
