Likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) are a popular tool for comparing statistical models. However, missing data are also common in empirical research, and multiple imputation (MI) is often used to deal with them. In multiply imputed data, there are multiple options for conducting LRTs, and new methods are still being proposed. In this article, we compare all available methods in multiple simulations covering applications in linear regression, generalized linear models, and structural equation modeling. In addition, we implemented these methods in an R package, and we illustrate its application in an example analysis concerned with the investigation of measurement invariance.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...

Multiple Comparison Tests
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance,...
