comment Can a -2 Log likelihood be calculated with only one model?
thanks for the heads up gung, I wasn't aware of that!

comment Can a -2 Log likelihood be calculated with only one model?
Ok first question, how would I extract the log likelihood for the model I created from the deviance considering that matlab only gives me the deviance? Also, (I know this make me look fairly stupid but) for p(y |θˆ2) would that be the probability of getting a certain y value from the outcome data set or the independent variables given the fitted parameter

Thank you EMS! You really helped me understand what deviance is a lot! I still have a few questions, but I am not sure how to ask them. Once I figure out how to word it I will definitely reply here.

would it be perfect model - my model, or my model - perfect model? And would dividing it by -2 really give me the log likelihood of the model and I could use that to do the log likelihood test?

comment Why are my p-values so high?
thanks Peter, I actually went through the data and it turned out I did happen to scramble a few things. The p-values got a bit better, but they still aren't significant even at the 80% confidence level

comment Why are my p-values so high?
hmmm, interesting point. Fact is there are tons of explanatory variables that could be causing the data to change as it does, especially in a hurricane evacuation situation, but data is very scarce in the world of hurricane evacuation. If this is the case that could explain a lot. Thank you very much with for your input. I also noticed that when I increase the sample size the p-values of some of the variables decrease to below .001 (with a sample size of 483) but that is only for 2-3, the others remain above 0.2.
