Abstract
While the Wald test can be used to test a non-linear hypothesis in a linear or non-linear regression model it is known that a particular hypothesis can be written in many ways when non-linear forms are permitted. This paper illustrates that it is possible to obtain virtually any value of the Wald statistic at different significance levels. It is also shown that in small samples the use of the χ 2 or F approximation for the distribution of the Wald statistic can be misleading for some forms of the non-linear Wald test.
