In the problem of testing the equality of k regression curves from independent samples we discuss three methods using nonparametric estimation techniques of the regression function. The first test is based on a linear combination of estimators for the integrated variance function in the...

In this note several aspects of specification tests in nonparametric models driven by an absolutely regular process are discussed, which were recently proprosed in the literature. In particular we give a more detailed asymptotic analysis of tests based on kernel methods under fixed alternatives...

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...
