Description
testalterr computes anova F-ratio using arbitrary numeric error term. Used in those cases in which you know the numeric value of the
error term but it does not exist a term in the current model. It is useful for tests of simple interactions and simple main effects.
Examples
You wish to compute the F-ratio for b*c using the residual values from an a larger model that is not currently in memory.
