  • The Null hypothesis of t-test in non-linear least-squares ?

    I'm reading a paper named "Flows of knowledge from universities and federal laboratories:Modeling the flow of patent citations over time and across institutional and geographic boundaries", in which the function like:
    P = ai*aj*ag*exp(-b1*bi*bj*bg*x)*(1-exp(-b2*x)), in which ai~ag,b1,bi~bg and b2 are parameter for estimating.
    In this paper, the Non-linear least-squares regression results table shows the t-statistic for H0 (Parameter = 1).
    My question is what is the H0 of the t-test in normal non-linear least-squares in Stata (Parameter = 0? or 1?) ? And how to make the H0 as Parameter = 1, like the above paper?

    Here's a simple example of how it's done:
    Code:
    sysuse auto, clear
    nl (price = {a1}*mpg^{a2})
    nl, coefl
    test _b[a1:_cons] = 1
