NOTE 1: Results in Column 1 are from Table 4 and Table 5 pages 18-21 Richardson (1998). Base categories: European
ethnic origin, state interviewed in 1984 NSW/ACT, government school, highest qualification year 10 at school, longest

worker when respondent aged 14, mother clerical worker when respondent aged 14, religion brought up in is Anglican.
144 This is the likelihood ratio test of the hypothesis that all coefficients except the intercept are equal to
zero. It is defined as LR = 2 (log likelihood M full – 2 log likelihood M intercept ). The degrees of freedom of this
chi squared distributed statistic are equal to the number of constrained parameters i.e. the number of
coefficients being tested.
