Diffrence between "except for " and "except"
English
Other
Mathematics & Statistics
In this test we cannot reject the null hypothesis of no functional mis-specification at the
5 per cent significance level for all estimations except for equation 2.
All Painlevé transcendents have first integrals for special values of their parameters except equation
(2).
Is there any diffirence between except for and except?
Pelase tell me.
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure that there's no difference. "For" is an optional extra here, basically. It depends on your whim at the time, and maybe on what you think sounds best in a certain context.

Maybe the author was only avoiding repetition. The variation makes the text read slightly better.

My instinctive writing style would normally insert "excepting equation 2"
"except for equation 2" sounds quite appropriate
"except equation 2" also seems to fit nicely
Many times you may find that several options exist.
My two zlotys :-)

The "for" follows from "significance level for"
In the second sentence there's no need need for this tie-in.
As others have said, it doesn't make much difference.
