Wald, score, LRT: the picture

This technical article provides a visual explanation of the relationship between three fundamental statistical hypothesis tests: Wald, score, and likelihood ratio tests. Using R code examples and geometric diagrams, it illustrates how these tests approximate the area under a score function curve in generalized linear models and likelihood theory, showing how they converge under local alternatives.
