How do i interpret odds ratios in logistic regression. For instance i would plot the loglikelihood for each condition. This means that if there is missing value for any variable in the model, the entire case will be excluded from the analysis. A likelihood ratio test is a statistical test relying on a test statistic computed by taking the ratio of the maximum value of the likelihood function under the constraint of the null hypothesis to the maximum with that constraint relaxed.
