I also test the signed root log - likelihood ratio method. (climateaudit.org)
To avoid over - or underestimating the importance of each biometric latent factor, we restricted latent genetic (A), shared (C) and nonshared (E) environmental factors to 0 only when their factor loadings were estimated to be close to zero and not based on likelihood ratio tests as is common practice in the behavior genetics literature.

Variables with a P value of less than 0.25 in the initial univariate χ2 tests were initially entered into the regression equation and were removed in a stepwise fashion if they had a P value of less than 0.1 on likelihood ratio tests. (mja.com.au)
