Estimation and testing for varying coefficients in additive models with marginal integration

Yang, Lijian; Härdle, Wolfgang; Park, Byeong U. - 2002

regression model. Asymptotic distribution theory is developed for the estimation method which enjoys the same rate of convergence … as univariate function estimation. For the test statistic, asymptotic normal theory is established. These theoretical …We propose marginal integration estimation and testing methods for the coefficients of varying coefficient multivariate …

Semiparametric modelling of the cross-section of expected returns in the German stock market

Stehle, Richard; Bunke, Olaf; Sommerfeld, Volker - 1997

a comparable data set for Germany for the time period 1968-1990. We analyze this data set in order to identify a "best …/French for US stock returns is almost the best one in Germany. The book-to-market-ratio turns out to be the variable with highest …

Lag selection in subset VAR models with an application to a US monetary system

Brüggemann, Ralf; Lütkepohl, Helmut - 2000

Alternative modeling strategies for specifying subset VAR models are considered. It is shown that under certain conditions a testing procedure based on t-ratios is equivalent to sequentially eliminating lags that lead to the largest improvement in a prespecified model selection criterion. A...

A model specification test

Bartels, Knut - 1998

A general model specification test of a parametric model against a nonparametric or semiparametric alternative is studied. The test statistic employs a fixed kernel, not varying by a bandwidth. This test is proved to be consistent, the asymptotic distribution is derived and shown to be...

Canonical correlation statistics for testing the cointegration rank in a reversed order

Breitung, Jörg - 1998

In this paper a Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) is used to test the hypothesis r = r0 against the alternative r r0. Such a test flips the null and alternative hypotheses of Johansen's LR test and can be used jointly with the LR test to construct a confidence set for the cointegration rank....

Parametric versus nonparametric goodness of fit : another view

Läuter, Henning; Nikulin, Michail S. - 1999

We consider chi-squared type tests for testing the hypothesis H 0 that a density f of observations X1,..., Xn lies in a parametric class of densities F. We consider a version of chi-squared type test using kernel estimates for the density. The main result is, following Liero, Läuter and Konakov...

An adaptive, rate-optimal test of a parametric model against a nonparametric alternative

Horowitz, Joel; Spokojnyj, Vladimir G. - 1999

We develop a new test of a parametric model of a conditional mean function against a nonparametric alternative. The test adapts to the unknown smoothness of the alternative model and is uniformly consistent against alternatives whose distance from the parametric model converges to zero at the...

Local power of likelihood ratio tests for the cointegrating rank of a VAR process

Saikkonen, Pentti; Lütkepohl, Helmut - 1997

Likelihood ratio (LR) tests for the cointegrating rank of a vector autoregressive (VAR) process have been developed under different assumptions regarding deterministic terms. For instance, nonzero mean terms and linear trends have been accounted for in some of the tests. In this paper we provide...
