In the common nonparametric regression model the problem of testing for a specific parametric form of the variance function is considered. Recently Dette and Hetzler (2008) proposed a test statistic, which is based on an empirical process of pseudo residuals. The process converges weakly to a...

In this paper a new test for the parametric form of the variance function in the common nonparametric regression model is proposed which is applicable under very weak smoothness assumptions. The new test is based on an empirical process formed from pseudo residuals, for which weak convergence to...

In this note we consider several goodness-of-fit tests for model specification in non- parametric regression models which are based on kernel methods. In order to circumvent the problem of choosing a bandwidth for the corresponding test statistic we propose to consider the statistics as...
