The standard binary logistic regressions were conducted with SPSS which outputs the Wald statistic and accompanying probability (p) value for each overall predictor and for each comparison. The summary tables for the standard regression models present these statistics.
MIXNO computes Z and p statistics for each comparison examined, but does not present statistics on the significance of each predictor overall (except where the predictor has two categories, and therefore only one comparison). In addition to the MIXNO output, likelihood ratio test statistics (chi-square (2) and p) were computed for all predictors with three or more categories. The tables in Appendix C that provide the full results of the mixed-effects regression models present the Z statistics for all comparisons (and for binary predictors), and the 2 statistics for the overall significance of predictors with three or more categories.
