\title{Run a likelihood-ratio test}

\usage{

lrTest(object, hypothesis, ...)

}

\arguments{

\item{object}{LMlike or subclass}

\item{hypothesis}{the hypothesis to be tested. See details.}

\item{...}{optional arguments, passed to fitting functions}

}

\value{

array giving test statistics

}

\description{

Compares the change in likelihood between the current model and one subject to contrasts tested in \code{hypothesis}.

\code{hypothesis} can be one of a \code{character} giving complete factors or terms to be dropped from the model, \code{CoefficientHypothesis} giving names of coefficients to be dropped, \code{Hypothesis} giving contrasts using the symbolically, or a contrast \code{matrix}, with one row for each coefficient in the full model, and one column for each contrast being tested.
