Haugh [Journal of the American Statistical Association (1976) Vol. 71, pp. 378-85] developed an approach to the problem of testing non-correlation (at all leads and lags) between two univariate time series. Haugh's tests, however, have low power against two series which are related over a long...

For more than half a century, Manfred Deistler has been contributing to the construction of the rigorous theoretical foundations of the statistical analysis of time series and more general stochastic processes. Half a century of unremitting activity is not easily summarized in a few pages. In...

We propose a class of simple rank-based tests for the null hypothesis of a unit root. This class is indexed by the choice of a reference density g, which needs not coincide with the unknown actual innovation density f. The validity of these tests, in terms of exact finite sample size, is...
