Spanish term or phrase: puntuación del estadístico de Wald
Any statisticians out there? From a study about intellectual capital disclosure.

Se estableció una significatividad de entrada para las variables de 0,05, en tanto que para ser excluidas una vez que formaban parte de la función logística se estableció una probabilidad de salida de 0,10. Con ello se evitan los posibles problemas de multicolinealidad, empleando para la selección y eliminación de las variables la puntuación del estadístico de Wald.

Wald statistic
Explanation:
It's as simple as that!

If for a group of explanatory variables, the Wald test is significant, then we conclude that the associated variables should be included in the model. Otherwise these explanatory variables can be omitted from the model.

For a single parameter, the Wald statistic is just the square of the t-statistic.
