The Likelihood Ratio, Wald, and Lagrange Multiplier Tests: An Expository Note
Abstract
By means of simple diagrams this note gives an intuitive account of the likelihood ratio, the Lagrange multiplier, and Wald test procedures. It is also demonstrated that if the log-likelihood function is quadratic then the three test statistics are numerically identical and have χ2 distributions for all sample sizes under the null hypothesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
