The classical approach to testing for structural change employs retrospective tests using a historical data set of a given length. Here we consider a wide array of fluctuation-type tests in a monitoring situation - given a history period for which a regression relationship is known to be stable,...

Autoren-Abstract: This paper introduces ideas and methods for testing for structural change in linear regression models and presents how these have been realized in an R package called strucchange. It features tests from the generalized fluctuation test framework as well as from the F test (Chow...

We show how the rootogram - a graphical tool associated with the work of J. W. Tukey and originally used for assessing goodness of fit of univariate distributions - can help to diagnose and treat issues such as overdispersion and/or excess zeros in regression models for count data. Two empirical...

The paper discusses structural change as possible mechanism that generates the appearance of long memory in economic time series. It shows that there are no long memory effects in German stock returns and that long memory in squares of German stock returns disappears once shifting means are...

OLS is as efficient as GLS in the linear regression model with long-memory errors as the long-memory parameter approaches the boundary of the stationarity region_ provided the model contains a constant term. This generalizes previous results of Samarov Taqqu (Journal of Time Series Analysis 9...

The paper presents an approach to the analysis of data that contains (multiple) structural changes in a linear regression setup. We implement various strategies which have been suggested in the literature for testing against structural changes as well as a dynamic programming algorithm for the...

This paper obtains Lorenz ordering relationships among order statistics from log-logistic samples of possibly different sizes. Some results extend other families including the Lomax, Burr III and Burr XII distributions.

Reproducibility of economic research has attracted considerable attention in recentyears. So far, the discussion has focused on reproducibility of empirical analyses. Thispaper addresses a further aspect of reproducibility, the reproducibility of computationalexperiments. We examine the current...
