I would online many papers which use the ratio prob chi2 0 from stata as test ratio to proof the model fit. It automatically conducts an ftest, testing the null hypothesis that nothing is going on here in other words, that all of the coefficients on your independent variables are equal to zero. Is it correct that in order to have a acceptable model, i have to get probchi2 model predicts the outcome variable better than using the mean.
For instance, rep78, which has five levels, becomes 5 columns in the anova design matrix one of these levels will later be dropped in the estimation process since there are only 4 degrees of freedom for the 5. If not, the anova partial ss and their tests are equivalent. One would hope the two would always agree in their estimates. Are there any other ways i could check the model fit of my clogit results. The overall ftest of significance just tells you whether your model predicts the outcome variable better than using the mean.
